This is an appeal against website neglect.  All to often I hear businesses express - "Our company website doesn't work for me!"  - It's important that we put a stop to this to ensure that every website is a successful website.

To ensure you are not neglecting your website, you first need to understand it.  A website is an organic being that should have a job which has purpose and is valued by the company owner.

Do you understand your website?

If not then start at the begining, Why do you have a website? Is it;

  • to sell products online
  • to let clients know who you are and what you do
  • to keep clients updated with your services or products you company offers
  • to collect useful marketing information from your clients
  • to show your clients what you can do
  • to provide a help and advice service
  • to provide a community of like minded people

If you don't know why you have a website then now is the time to take a look at it and work out why you have a website in the first place.

Once you know why you have a website you need to ask;

Does my website do the job it is supposed to do?  If not then there are many reasons for this, most usually come back to web site neglect,  many of these reasons are;

  • not updating your website since its launch
  • not updating your website regularly
  • your company direction has changed but your website hasn't
  • you haven't advertised or marketed your website using traditional methods
  • you haven't advertised or marketed your website using internet methods
  • you're embarrased by your website and don't shout about it
  • your website doesn't have your contact details on it are they are not easy to find
  • your website is difficult to navigate around
  • and the list goes on.

Be honest, if your website isn't working, have you neglected it and not done anything to help it?  Its all too easy to neglect a website and get nothing from it.  To ensure your website is working hard for your company you must do something to help it.  Like all organic beings it needs feeding, nurturing and given space to grow.
