Spring clean your website - a complete check list
Spring is Finlay here! Before the busy holiday period, spend a bit of time on your website and give it a good spring clean.
Your website spring clean checklist (not in particular order)
Review pages - delete all old pages or hide them if you will need them in the future.
Check your online form (self-test) and update if needed. (More about contact forms in this blog post )
Check that all links are working and fix broken links
Clear out clutter – look at photos and copy; ask yourself does it add value to my website visitor? If yes, keep if not delete!
Update images – perhaps you are using old and dated stock photos? Time to refresh with new ones or update with new professional branded photos
Icons – if your icons look old and dated – a fresh set that is more in trend can help lift up the page
Update you blog: when is your last blog post from? If more than a few months make sure you add some new blogs posts.
Update work examples – add new case studies / projects / portfolio to make sure you showcase your latest work.
Review your bio - is your headshot still relevant? Do you have any new accreditations to add?
Testimonials – replace old testimonials with new testimonials or set up an embedded review feed from Google to keep them always up to date.
Check links and feeds (as if anything changes on your socials the links and feed can break) - if there a platform you do not use anymore, remove links.
Check your website on mobile, desktop, laptop and tablets – make sure it still looks good and works well on all devises.
