Website Checkup: Errors

Take one final look at your website before you break out the champagne.

Do you have typos? Is your punctuation slipshod? Are there grammatical errors or poor word choices?







Examples like these may shock you. How, you may be thinking, could these organizations allow their websites to go out in public with this sort of thing showing?

Or you may be shocked that I would even think you'd bother to look at them and find the errors.

That's okay. You can hire people like me to find and correct your errors for you. It's not a big expense, and it will allow you to hold your head high and march into the new year free of the kind of error that makes your website -- and you -- look unprofessional.

Beyond this sort of thing, look for old phone numbers, outdated prices, links that don't work -- all those little things that you can easily overlook in the course of day to day business. In my end-of-year checkups, I found a reference on a client's site to "the chart below" -- and no chart. We had made the decision to move that chart, and had missed the reference to it left behind. The webmaster corrected the error immediately, at no charge. Your webmaster may do the same for you. A few minutes spent really scrutinizing your site is a good use of time.
