Website Checklist: Did You Remember To…

build-website-checklist …put your phone number on your website?

Often we meet with prospects and their phone number is nowhere to be found on their website. One of the first things we recommend is adding their phone number to their home page in a highly visible spot.

I think the phone number is overlooked because you, as a company, know your number. Remember that the website is for your prospects and your customers. Your goal when building a website should be to make it usable for your prospects/customers.

Some basic web content to consider when building or redesigning your website:

Your company name and logo
Your company history, mission, philosophy – what makes you YOU
Contact information: phone, email, address, directions
Testimonial page
Product and services pages
Links to your Social Media pages (if applicable)
A blog – very important to keep fresh content on your site.
Search box – allow your customers the chance to find exactly what they are looking for
Clear input validation rules on forms
Limit or omit flash, huge graphics, or tons of videos (unless pertinent to your industry).
A quick contact form persistent on all pages of your website
