The 18 questions below are meant to give you a quick, basic overview on your site’s performance. A few simple factors which are crucial when it comes to retaining your website’s visitors and attracting new clients. While there is no one golden rule for design and branding, try to keep things clean, simple and optimized.

Think about SEO for visibility & Google ranking, optimization & hosting for loading speed, fonts and colors for readability, and plugins for all those extra features. Make sure your site is always up to date and showcasing your best and most favorite work. Choose your top 10-15 most amazing images (the type of work you want to do more in the future) and showcase them in your homepage slideshow. Always remember about social media links and contact details. Those should be visible and easy to find at all times.

For an objective result, ask a few friends to do the test for you.

Good Luck!
