To Do List: 101 Five-Minute Fixes to Incrementally Improve Your Website

patientHere’s a great ready-made To Do List of quick improvements you can make to your website. Definitely one to bookmark. I know I’ll be working through them. I may not agree with 100% of them, but most look pretty spot-on.

Here are a few items from the list:

  • Keep background colors and images at a minimum. Backgrounds are often less than visually appealing and can make your site load slowly.
  • Reduce choices. Avoid overwhelming your visitor with lots of different options.
  • Stay consistent. Check to make sure that colors and design are in the same general scheme so that visitors know they’re still on your site.
  • Validate design in alternative browsers. See how your design renders in browsers like Safari, Opera and Firefox to make sure that it looks right no matter who is viewing it.
