Website audits: An easy way to end the year strong
Audit your site this year
It’s easy to forget about web maintenance and best practices when you’re busy with other projects throughout the year. But things like web accessibility violations, performance drags, and design inconsistencies can pile up, making your website less effective over time. An audit can make a big difference, especially if you don’t have resources for a full website redesign.
This year, did you:
- Upload images without resizing for web?
- Skip the alt text, thinking you’d do it later?
- Add a page without giving it a rightful home in the navigation?
- Forget to make sure content is accessible to people with disabilities?
Things like this can slow down your website and frustrate your visitors, so there’s no time like the present — make a list and check it twice now, before another year goes by.
