11 Website Reviews to Teach You How to Do Your Own Website Audit
Have you ever visited a website and something just didn’t look right?
Did something frustrate you with how hard it was to get access to “something”? or thought to yourself “I wish it was easier to do this”
As a website designer, it’s critical to put the user experience at the forefront, otherwise, it will sacrifice leads and sales.
In this video, I’m going to show you 11 websites, in which half of them I’m an actual client. I’ll review their home pages from top to bottom so you can learn about simple little things that work well and things that should be fixed. You can take this information and apply it to your own website audit and if you’re building your first website, you’ll know right up front what not to do.
