Have you ever been to a website that you just couldn’t figure out? Maybe you couldn’t find their products, or just couldn’t figure out how to “get around”. Sometimes people will design a site so that it looks pretty, but don’t consider how the site actually functions.

It is of the utmost importance to consider user experience when creating a website. What exactly does that mean? It means you need to think about how people will be using your website.

What To Do

Download our checklist and print it out! Go through your entire site as if you were a visitor. Can you find your way around easily? Is everything clear, organized, and easy to find? It shouldn’t feel like you are on a scavenger hunt!
