Why your website may be a year or more out-of-date

Posted by Henrik Madsen on January 9, 2009

There’s a really easy way to make sure your visitors get the impression that your content is relevant and up-to-date. That you’re a professional organisation that cares about the details. But it’s amazing how many sites simply miss the point.

Whether it’s laziness or oversight, there must be millions (if not billions) of websites that are a year - or even more - out-of-date. Or at least appear to be. Is your site among them? Have you checked?

I’m of course referring to your copyright statement, which usually appears in your webpage footer. Have you updated it yet? Have you ever updated it? If not, there’s every chance your potential customers will notice and maybe not get that positive feeling about you that you had in mind.

out-of-dateYou can easily update your copyright statement yourself, or get your web designer to do it. In fact, why not ask them (or us) to install a simple script to automatically take care of this important detail for you?
