Freshen Up Your Web Site
Web sites serve many purposes and not all web site owners feel the need or have the time to update content to keep their web site fresh. If this is the case why not play with the look and feel a little to keep things interesting and extend the life of your site a little longer. Your web site is initially judged on its look and if your site doesn’t look up to date, your content won’t be read. Here area a few simple cost effective edits that can be done by your web designer that can keep your site looking new and exciting.
1. Change web site images within page content or the header of the web site. For the web site header think about changing the image(s) seasonally, by event, or have image(s) change when the web site visitor clicks to another page.
2. Alter the style of your links. The stylizing of your web site links within content as well as your navigation links is usually a quick change and can have a dramatic change on the appearance of your site.
3. Update background colour on the web site. Depending on the age of your site you might have a patterned background or a darker background colour surrounding your site. Have your web site designer provide some other lighter more update to date suggestions.
4. Update your copyright date. This date might seem inconsequential however with the amount of information available on the Internet web site visitors sometimes use this date as a way to figure out if your information is still valid or not.
From time to time it is within your best interest to review your web site with a critical eye. If you find this difficult, book an appointment with your web designer and they will help you define any problem areas that could be looked at. Be open and honest about how your web site serves you and what you would like to achieve. Your web site designer will find a way to work within your parameters and deliver a more up to date looking web site that you can continue to do business with.
