What’s Wrong With Your Website?

Posted by Lea Woodward (0) Comment

Do you currently have a website which you’re not happy with but you’re not quite sure where to start to make it better? Or do you have some clear ideas on how to improve your site but you’re not sure whether these are recommended or the best thing to do?

We often review websites as part of our ongoing research and provide feedback when clients come to us to ask how they can improve their site. More often than not, the mistakes are the same.

We’ve compiled the most common web design mistakes for you to compare with your own website for our next ezine. To read the article, “The Top 10 Web Design Mistakes You Need To Correct Now!”, join our mailing list on the right hand side >>>

CORRECTION: This article won’t appear in the ezine for another few issues (September 08); this month’s ezine article will actually be about How To Use LinkedIn To Raise Your Profile & Grow Your Business. Sorry for the scheduling mix-up!
