Questions to ask yourself when creating a new site
Bear in mind, when asking yourself these questions you have to take a 3rd party stance, so it might be helpful to show an honest and critical friend your website and pose him/her these simple questions:
- Does the website keep me engaged? If I were to find this site using a search engine would the content be of value to me?
- Is it obvious from the beginning what the site is all about? Or do I have to look around to find the purpose behind it?
- Does the website appear to have a onesided bias? Or does it paint the picture from both sides?
- Is the content well written, grammatically correct, and understandable on a high school education?
- Does the website allow a visitor to "leave with more then they came with?" (knowledge?)
- Does the website overwhelm me with ads?
- Is the website visually appealing, yet not overwhelming?
- Is there an easy way I can share this page with my friends? Is it even worth sharing? (Social plugins)
- Does it look like the creator of the site took time to create it, or does it look like it was thrown up in an hour?
- Did I even find what I came here looking for?
I'll probably edit and add more to this list if I can think of some. Just wrote this on the fly. And everyone please feel to contribute your own "questions"!
