Website Design – It’s your site make sure it functions properly!

Aug 30th, 2010 by Spider Choice



I recently had a new client ask me to do Internet Marketing for their new website including SEO, Google Adwords(PPC) and branding of their name.
This was a new site that they had put a lot of time (6 mths.) and of course cost to develop. Now when you first look at the site it is visually appealing and seems to be easy enough to navigate thru. and thus it should be ready to launch which they did.
Ok so you say why is he posting this article if everything is so great about the new site, after all the owners wouldn’t have given the go ahead if there were any problems right?
Many owners of new sites put a lot of pressure on the designers to get the new site up and running and do not check to make sure even the basic operation of the website is functioning the way they thought it would.
We ended up having to redo the entire site to catch all the little details that were wrong or missing. Here are just a couple of problems we found.
1. Can you imagine having a “Online Request Form” that defaults all the emails to the original designer of the request software? Yes they hadn’t received one request! Oops!
2. The template design for all pages had to be redone as they wanted to add more content on each page and because there was no floating Footer you could only work between the existing graphics.
3. When the designer realized this mistake he added all the great content as PDF files for you to “click to download” which wasn’t a great move for SEO purposes and very annoying to navigate.
I could go on about this one but I think you get the point, remember it’s your site and ultimately your responsibility to make sure everything is working.
Check that your emails are working properly.
Check that your pages link properly both internally and externally.
