First of all, Happy New Year! With the new year comes some annual maintenance that every webmaster should be conscious of. Here’s a quick tip from my list of annual website maintenance.
- Build Trust. Having your website reflect current and accurate information helps build trust. Yes, even the year beside your copyright notice makes a subtle, perhaps sub-conscious, impact on your visitors.
- Be Relevant. Your website visitors expect you to be on top of the latest developments in the business and technology world.
- Show You Care. For those websites that can make the change quickly, it shows your visitors that you care. Take a moment now to update your website’s copyright year… or email your webmaster if they take care of this for you.
