A Few Website No-No's From Your Friendly Local Website Experts

2/28/2020

Comments

 
We often read articles on where websites are headed, what trends are in, and how to handle the basics of designing your own website. But there isn't nearly as much coverage on the bad practices of website DIY'ers. You know a bad website when you're on it, but it can be difficult to pinpoint the "no-no's" that make you bounce from the bad site and give your attention to a site that does it right.  
 
Here are a few of the "no-no's" we think are important when it comes to website design in the Year 2020.
First:
Don’t get cute with font colors. Stick with black text on light backgrounds.

When was the last time you checked out your own website?
 
Often, this is something even WE overlook. We understand. In this day and age, it's easy to get caught up in the day-to-day work. Like us, that work probably has you on dozens of other sites all day long and before you realize it, a lot of time has flown by since your last check-in on your own site. It may feel it may feel like you just launched that "new" website last month, but maybe a couple years have gone by, and in the digital world, a couple of years can be a lifetime. Best practices, new trends, search optimization, and algorithms are ever-evolving and constantly changing, but try not to get too overwhelmed with it all.
 
Here are a few simple signs it may be time for a little website work:
MySpace
This site design may be familiar and soothing to you, but it is outdated and untrustworthy to your visitors.
1. Your site design resembles an old myspace page.
Site aesthetics have come a long way since the start of the interwebs, and although you may feel the comforts of navigating on a familiar platform, most of your site visitors are immediately put-off by an outdated design. You might even be keeping up with the information and content on the site, but if your site looks like it was created years ago, your visitors won't trust that the information is updated and accurate. 
We always recommend checking out a couple of competitors' sites, especially competitors that may be surging ahead of you lately. See what's working for them and put it to work for you!

Is Your Old Website ADA Compliant?

11/20/2019

Comments

 
Title III of the ADA has mandated that all places of public accommodation are required by law to remove any barriers that would inhibit a person with disabilities from being able to access the business’ goods and services. This includes websites for employment agencies, labor organizations, state and federal or employers with 15 or more employees.

Many people interact and perceive the online world a little differently. The internet world is so widely used that ADA compliance also applies to websites and mobile apps.

So, why should we make our website accessible to people who have disabilities that affect hearing, vision or physical capacities?

Other than a moral obligation to ensure people with disabilities have the same opportunities as anyone else, ADA compliance can increase your target audience, improves SEO efforts, helps build your reputation and overall better website usability. There is also the matter of a possible penalty for not being ADA compliant as well.

Web accessibility can seem complex and overwhelming if you do not know where to start. According to the last census study, nearly 1 in 5 people have a disability in the United States.

Luckily, Berry Digital Solutions offers this service to new and existing customers. Your website should be accessible for everyone, regardless of ability. And we can help you get there. 

​Contact Us today to inquire about your site’s ADA accessibility!
