26 Nov Why You Should Visit Your Own Website
As a business owner or part of an organisation getting a website is paramount. However, although you may have engaged Wonderful Websites to undertake routine maintenance, it can be tempting to think that your role is done. After all, your website is in good hands, right?
While it’s true that we can take care of the back-end, the front-end experience, and even ongoing maintenance, it’s still essential to regularly visit and engage with your website yourself. Here’s why you shouldn’t let your website go unmonitored, even if you’re not the one doing the heavy lifting behind the scenes.
Whilst we are engaged as the technical expert, we help make sure the website functions properly, is secure, and looks visually appealing. However, you are the expert on your brand, your voice, and how you want to connect with your audience. We work hard to ensure the technical functionality of your site is working correctly, but the routine maintenance does not allow time for us to also account for every nuance of how visitors experience the site.
That is why it is so important for you to interact with your own website and gain first-hand knowledge of the user experience. Is it easy for your visitors to navigate the site? Are the forms intuitive? Do the forms get sent through to you every time. Does the content flow logically? By keeping an eye on these details, you ensure that the user experience aligns with your brand and meets your goals.
Regularly visiting your own website allows you to ensure that it’s accurately representing your brand, functioning smoothly, and providing an optimal user experience. You’re the one who understands your goals and your audience best, and staying in the loop will ensure that your website continues to meet both of those needs.
So, even if your website is in expert hands, don’t forget to make it a habit to visit it often. A quick check here and there can go a long way in keeping your site running at its best—and ensuring things like your contact forms are always working!
