- Make sure the responsibility for the building and maintaining of your website is clear and workable.
When responsibility for adding content rests on one person's shoulders, more can get done in a timely manner. Unclear or overlapping lines of responsibility often serve to delay keeping your website updated. The toughest part for some website owners is to overcome the temptation of insisting on perfect content - that throttles good and effective web content from getting added in a timely manner. For larger companies, better to set a criteria that must be met to add content than to demand multiple approvals before web content is added.
- Maintain communication with your web designer get your website's visitor traffic information.
Visitor feedback and page visitation statistics are one of the best ways to plan future web content and see what keywords are working for you and which web pages either need fine tuning or additional content.
