Have you checked your website lately? Chances are good that you haven't, especially if it is built on a non-blogging platform. But go ahead, check it for these four items today.
<ol>
	<li><strong> Does it load quickly?</strong> How long does it take for the average person to open your website? If it takes too long, you may lose that person.</li>
	<li><strong>Does it load correctly?</strong> Are all the pages formatted correctly, and is the format readable? I have opened pages only to find HTML gobbledygook.</li>
	<li><strong> Is the contact information current and accurate?</strong> The basics--address, phone, email--should all be up to date and you should make sure they are correct.</li>
	<li> <strong>Do you provide the information your prospective customers or clients need?</strong> If you are a retail location, do you have your hours posted? If you are a restaurant, do you have your menu posted? If you are a salon, do you have a listing (including pricing) of your services?</li>
</ol>
It is worth remembering that people go to websites to find useful information. If they can't access your website or find the information they need, THEY WILL GO ELSEWHERE.
