When is the last time you thoroughly looked over your website? Every business owner should audit their own website at least once a year. Here are 5 simple tips for beginning your own website audit: 

1. Test All Links & Buttons

Are all links working? Do external links open in a new tab? Are the social icons appropriately linked?

2. Spelling & Grammar

Read over all of the text and headlines on your website. Is everything spelled correctly?

3. Mobile-Friendly Design

How does the design look from desktop to mobile? Is anything cut off, or missing? Pull up the website on your computer and your phone to check this.

4. Check Your SSL Certificate

Does it have a little lock icon in the browser? This shows visitors it is safe to browse. Some browsers will prevent users from visiting sites that do not have an SSL certificate.

5. Test Your Contact Form

Submit a test contact form. Does it go to the right place? Do you get an email confirmation?
