Don’t Let Your Website Turn Into a Digital Haunted House
Your website is often the first impression people have of your organization — and when it’s neglected, it can quickly become a place visitors are too afraid to enter. Broken links, outdated design, and sluggish performance don’t just haunt your credibility; they drive potential customers away.
At Information Experts, we see it all the time. A once-beautiful site becomes overrun with “ghost” pages, “zombie” plugins, and security gaps lurking in the shadows. What starts as a small glitch can grow into a full-blown fright fest — from lost leads to data breaches.
Here are a few ways to keep your website from turning into a digital haunted house:
-
Banish broken links and outdated content. Old pages or inaccurate information confuse visitors and hurt SEO. Regularly review and refresh your content.
-
Keep your plugins and software updated. Outdated tools are open doors for hackers and malware. Updates are your best line of defense.
-
Secure your site. Make sure you’re using HTTPS, strong passwords, and regular backups to protect your data and your users.
-
Test for accessibility. Everyone should be able to navigate your site easily — don’t let poor usability become your site’s hidden trapdoor.
-
Optimize for speed and mobile. A slow, clunky site is as off-putting as a creaky old mansion. Smooth performance keeps visitors engaged.
Your website should welcome visitors, not scare them away. With regular maintenance and smart security practices, you can keep it fresh, functional, and fear-free all year long.
If your site could use a little exorcising, Information Experts can help. We’ll review your site, identify hidden issues, and restore your online presence to something you can be proud of.
