Session Title: Amazing Web Presence: Be Found, Be Heard, Be Seen
Elements of an Effective Website:
- Content – you must have interesting content and something that is of value to your readership
- Appearance – it must be attractive and clean
- Functionality – it must be usable and serve the intended purpose
- Relevancy – is your content current and relevant
- SEO/Mobile – Is your content easily indexed by search engines and “mobile ready”? (test it at transmog.net)
