This article was contributed by SSAA member R6 Digital.
As we approach the end of winter, it’s the perfect time to give your website a quick once-over. We aren’t talking about a full rebuild, nor a technical deep dive.
These are the R6 Digital Winter Warmers - hot tips to check if your website is still doing what you need it to do.
A few small checks can reveal slow pages, outdated content, or missed opportunities hiding in plain sight. And with a handful of smart, lightweight tools, you can spot issues (and fix them) in minutes.
Ready to make your website work a little harder for you in 2026? Here’s where to start.
Reviewing your website (UX/ UI)
Here are a few questions you should ask yourself when looking at your website:
At first glance, would the customer know what you are providing?
Is the website easy to navigate? For example, is the menu straightforward?
Does your homepage have succinct text and is it easy-to-understand?
Images and headings should be the main explainer, allowing people to understand what you are providing without having to read paragraphs of information.
Is your contact info readily available? Could it be linked in the header and the footer? And placed in relevant sections for a good conversion rate.
By taking a little time now to review your website, you’ll keep it working harder for you all year long. These easy checks aren’t about major overhauls; they’re small, practical steps that make a real difference.
