Having updated and accurate information on your webpages allows you to offer the best user experience for your visitors. The best way to insure up-to-date information is to check all pages at the beginning of each semester for accurate content, hours, bios and links.
Review your pages to make sure they answer these questions:
- Does your page have a clear, unique title?
- Is the most important information first?
- Does my content answer all questions that the reader may have?
- Is my content concise?
- Does my page have scannable headings and lists?
- Is my content at an appropriate readability level?
- Is my page and content accessible (run the accessibility checker)?
- Is alt text provided?
- Are table heading selected?
- Are my documents accessible?
