Giving My Home Business Website an Overhaul
Giving My Home Business Website an Overhaul
I’ve spent the best part of 24 hrs updating my home business site.
At this stage of the game I should be outsourcing this stuff but it seems to me sometimes a lot less hassle to just do it myself. I’ve outsourced many times before. I’ve had some good and some bad experiences.
The worst was when a content writer took my dollars and didn’t complete the project. She basically did a runner with my cash 
I enjoy updating my sites, most times.
So basically I changed some of the colors, brought the blog of the site more in line, visually, with the rest of the site. Apparently this creates a much more pleasant user experience. Before, when a web visitor clicked from my main page to my blog they got two completely different headers. This isn’t good practice. Now the headers are indentical. Have a look here to here.
I have around 300 articles on this site too which needed to have their surrounding content changed. I accomplished this using Macromedia Dreamweaver which has a handy find and replace tool. You can basically change every file in a folder according to text or source code. Can you imagine having to do these individually?
I also added Blogrush to my blog. This is a free tool for increasing blog traffic - allegedly. It’s free so you might want to give it a try.
I plan to do some heavy promoting on this site in the coming months. I think it’s looking a lot smarter than it was, but then I’m biased 
. I’ll keep my eye on Google analytics over the coming days to see if the changes have made a difference to visitor interactivity on the site.
