You might have suspected that your website needs work. Here are a few questions to consider in your evaluation:
- Does it look out-of-date, not contemporary? Is it more than 5 years old?
- Is the home page image full screen? Or do you have margins/borders on each side?
- Is it professional looking? Does it look like a home-spun site? Is it an embarrassment to the professionalism of your firm?
- Does it work effectively on mobile devices?
- Is the navigation (menu) difficult to use or confusing?
- Is it cluttered with too much information and/or images?
- Does it integrate social media?
- Does your site regularly provide current information, if not on a daily basis than at least weekly?
- Does it incorporate your firm’s “branding” concept?
- Is it properly positioned for your target market?
- Are your firm’s services explained in a compelling manner?
- Will a prospect be able to discern your firm’s key selling points?
- Do you have consistent traffic?
- Are new clients generated via your website?
- Is the text poorly written?
- Do your clients see it as a resource?
- Does it help you to implement regular client communication?
- Are the graphics a distraction or complementary?
- Are there any pixelated photos?
- Does maintenance of the site take an inordinate amount of your personnel’s time or is it outsourced to professionals?
