Content Issues

Make sure that the content on your homepage is educational but not overly wordy. Use high-quality images and graphics that are attractive and engaging for your target audience. Your homepage should include a clear explanation of what your company has to offer. As the visitor scrolls down on your homepage, you can start to provide more detailed information on the specific products or services you offer and link out to subpages that further explain in detail. The writing on your website should be descriptive and professional. It should be written well enough to be engaging for the reader while also getting vital information across. Make sure your content is not overwhelming; place your content in small amounts rather than heavy blocks of text. Use white space in your pages to add some breathing room between thoughts.

Off Brand
