I hope you are still motivated to do your best and never give up even though there might be a few obstacles in your path. Just kick them to the curb and keep moving!
Today, I just want to point out a few reminders to help keep your website on par:
- check your loading speed occasionally - too slow might mean less traffic because of the world we live in - instant gratification! SO, ideally a loading speed of about 2 seconds would be good. Tools - GooglePage Speed, Pingdom, and our own SiteSPeed (access through SiteRubix)
- how is your color contrast? can your reader 'see' your words or do they have to get out their magnifying glass?
- font size and spacing - is your content legible or do you have to squint, even wearing your prescription glasses?
- is your website mobile friendly? - adding the AMP plugin might be helpful too if you want
- does your tagline define your website? it might be helpful so that readers get an idea of your mission
- remember small paragraphs and white space - easier on the eyes and the brain as well
- grammar - be careful that what you write can be effortlessly read and understood. Try the free version of Grammarly, I find it very helpful
- navigation - make your website an easy place to find the content you want to share
I hope these little reminders will be nuggets in your growing arsenal of tools for the trade!
Namaste
