<b><i>Practice Tip:</b></i> 20 Surprisingly Simple Ways To Spruce Up Your Web Site
Have you been looking at your Web site thinking it's time for a change? Want to make sure you are getting the most out of your Web site investment? Here are 20 simple ways you can spruce up and enhance your site, without breaking the bank in the process.
1. Make your site searchable; it is easier than you think. Visitors coming to your site in order to find certain information may not want to browse through pages of content to find what they are looking for. By adding a search engine, you will allow visitors to locate the item directly. For example, if your firm has written an article on the Festo decision, users could search for “Festo” and zero in on only the articles that contain that word. This is much simpler than having to hunt through archives manually. Don't forget to place the search option prominently on every page.
2. Cross-link your information; intuitive links are the key. Want to help your visitors navigate your site in an intuitive manner? Add some cross-linking. For example, if an attorney at your firm writes an article or is mentioned in a press release posted on your Web site, add a link from where his or her name is mentioned back to his or her bio. This saves people from having to travel to the attorney bios section of your site to learn more about the attorney. One click, and they are there.
