026: 5 Steps for Maintaining Your Website After Launch with Erin Dean Williams

Today we are talking about maintaining your website, and more specifically, I am going to give you five steps that you can implement today.

I’m sure we can all relate to landing on a website and it’s immediately obvious it’s been neglected. Perhaps the promotion is for Christmas and it’s now summer, or the featured blog post is dated from last year. It doesn’t leave the best impression and in fact can make your potential customer wonder if you are still in business. Although it may not seem like a big deal, the truth is people associate the quality of your product or service with how your website looks and the experience they have navigating through it.
