So Why Does Your Website Hate You?

Reading Time: 5 minutes

Okay, a website cannot hate you. It’s not artificially intelligent or biological, it can’t THINK about hating you. So, hate may be too strong a word but, the feeling may still persist.

How do you make it better? The website, I mean. Here are some things that I see organizations doing wrong, time and time again. Most of these will only cost you some of your time, some will cost very little money. Some of these are able to raise the confidence and comfort level of your visitors.

Why Did We Choose the WordPress Platform?

I’ve been building websites since 1995. Back then, I was working at Honeywell Aerospace. I was using a text editor and typing the HTML and CSS codes by hand to create each page for static, in-house websites.

In 2015, we caught up with Shelly to chat about her website. She told us that over the last year, she hired a SEO company who promised her the moon. Shelly was frustrated because customers were no longer coming to the website and she was looking for solutions. If only half of the promises came true, this would have been a win for Shelly and her business.
