Treat Your Website As An Extension Of Your Home
- 0 Comments
You should treat your website as an extension of your home. You would clean your home weekly so you should clean your website weekly. Make sure all your links are working, get rid of any old links that no longer work. You can use a link checker plugin from wordpress to ensure you do not have any broken links in your posts. If you do you will be able to easily access them and repair the links.
As you would open your mail daily when it arrives in the post. Check your emails daily and keep on top of them.
Keep your website clean and fresh looking. Update your theme from time to time to show people that you like what you site looks like and you grow with the times. Just as you would ad a new coat of paint to your home you should color up your website homepage after all it is like the entrance to your home. It is (your home page ) the first thing people see when they enter your site.
Think of your site as an extension of your home, spring clean once a year and do some major changes and then weekly do all the minor jobs that need to be done to keep things running smoothly. If you use wordpress then make sure you upgrade whenever there is a newer version. Update your wordpress plugins throughout the year as a newer version is available.
Answer your comments as you would chat to a friend who rings your door bell. Invite comments as you would invite people over to visit your home for dinner. Ask for feedback on your site as you would ask your friends.
Feel comfortable with the look and feel of your website. If you have outgrown your website then you can sell it just as easy as you can sell your home. If you passion has changed then move with it and start a new website. you wont enjoy posting new material on your website if you no longer have an interest in that niche.
