A New Year’s Website Maintenance Checklist
January is the best time to do a teeny bit of website housekeeping. I just finished doing this on my own site and was surprised to find a few broken links, including a link to book a consultation that sent visitors to a form that doesn’t exist anymore! Not super professional, but the truth is that there are a lot of links and buttons and things to keep track of so if I don’t put it on my calendar to do an annual check of these things, they just get missed.
Winter’s coming! It’s time for those dreaded website updates.
Winter is approaching, which means the dreaded website update season is upon us. If you’ve been avoiding your site for the past months (years?), it can be hard to get started once you finally set aside the time to make updates. Should you re-write your text? Does it matter that your homepage banner image is grainy? What’s the bare minimum that you should do to make sure that your website is actually useful for your customer and helping you make sales? Here are five things you’ll want to fix before spring.
Upgrading Your Squarespace Site to Fluid Engine(aka Help! I have no idea how to edit my Squarespace site anymore)
If your website is built using Squarespace 7.1, chances are you’ve noticed that the editor looks quite a bit different these days than it did a few months ago. Back in July, Squarespace rolled out a new website editor that they call “Fluid Engine”. It’s a drag and drop editor that uses a grid and allows for way more flexibility and creativity than the old editor.
