That means making it user friendly by having all your content listed by priority, make sure you’re using relevant keywords (not just stuffing your content with them for a better ranking), and double check that all your links work. If you want to go the extra mile, invest in a mobile website. It’s the ultimate way to be user friendly for the majority of people with smartphones.

Your visuals should have two very important things about them. First of all, it should match the subject that you’re writing about. If it doesn’t  viewers of your site will doubt your professionalism. Secondly, the visual should be useful. Don’t have a photo just for the sake of having visual content. Ask yourself if it’s necessary before going through with it.
