Does your site look abandoned?
Visitors judge in a few seconds whether a site is alive. An old year in the footer or a news section frozen in 2021 is enough to make them doubt your hours, your prices, even whether you're still in business. We look for those signs.
Why it matters
A site that looks abandoned makes visitors doubt everything else: are the hours right? Is the phone number still good? Does the organization still exist? Most of these signs take five minutes to fix.
01
The footer year
Replace it with the current year, or have it calculated automatically. Or remove it: a © with no year is perfectly fine.
02
News and events
No time to post? Better to remove the news section from the home page than leave one frozen for three years. Remove past events, or move them to an archive.
03
Leftovers
COVID notices, Google+ icons, old analytics code: remove what no longer serves any purpose.
