Take a Closer Look at Your Website

As we finalize the design for the new, improved TSNE website, we’re thinking a lot about good practices. This month we bring you two articles featuring advice on how to improve and maintain your website.

How often do you look at your organization’s website as if you were new to the site? Are you losing frustrated constituents or potential donors? Here are 17 problems commonly found on websites, along with suggested remedies.

The Web allows for a wealth of information to be at your finger tips. How do you frame your message to fit in with the new, direct, short-attention span format of the Web? Read Writing for the Web, and get some tips and tricks to make your organization’s website more engaging.
