There’s excitement, months of preparation, and the joy of seeing everything come together beautifully (and a few moments of family drama along the way, of course!).
But like a lasting relationship, a successful website isn't just about getting it ready for launch. It needs care, regular attention, and the flexibility to grow and adapt. When you see your website as a long-term commitment, it becomes one of the most valuable assets in your digital life.
Just as relationships grow richer with time and effort, your website flourishes as you continually build into it.
How to keep the spark alive
Here are some actionable steps to help your website stay engaging, relevant, and valuable to your audience. (Feel free to also use these tips in your relationships).
- Check in regularly
Sit down for a meaningful chat. Dive into your analytics to see how visitors are interacting with your site. Look for patterns in traffic, popular pages, and bounce rates. Collect direct feedback from your audience to understand what they need and where your site could improve. - Be goals-aligned
It’s important to make sure you’re moving in the same direction. Periodically review your website content. Does it reflects your current goals and messaging? Update outdated information, keep everything aligned with your mission. - Be honest when it's not working
Stay out of the rut, don't just do things because 'that's the way we've always done it'. Continually look for ways to improve and develop. Something about your website bugging you? Get it out in the open and sort it out. - Address needs
Ask: what do you need to feel safe and thrive? Regularly audit your website for inclusivity and accessibility so everyone can feel welcomed and enjoy it. This may involve checking the language you use, optimising forms for all genders, checking colour contrast to include visually impaired visitors, adding alt text to images, and improving navigation for screen readers. - Clear out the clutter
Tell me, does anything express love more than cleaning the kitchen? Make it a habit to declutter your website. Remove unnecessary pages, update outdated content, and streamline navigation so visitors can find what they need and enjoy their experience. (More on de-cluttering here).
