In this session of the Expand2Web Podcast, I talk with website usability expert Aaron Weiche from Spyder Trap. Aaron is Vice President of Spyder Trap, and is also a faculty member at Local University.
I met Aaron while presenting at Local University in New York, and wanted to have him on the podcast to share some of his tips with you.
In the podcast, Aaron and I talk about the common mistakes that we see businesses making with their websites that severely limits their success online. Aaron then goes on to describe what he considers the four pillars of a great website.
In This Podcast You’ll Learn About:
The four pillars of a great website:
- Usability: A few key usability considerations your website must take advantage of.
- Content: Most business owners neglect this, yet it is the biggest opportunity in terms of customer engagement and search rankings.
- Design: This is often overemphasized. But there are a few key things you can do to create the perfect container for the content on your website and allow people to find it.
- Technology: Picking the right content management system makes it easy to update your website and create new content.
We go into depth on each of these four pillars in the podcast.
