I don't know what happens on my website!

You can't judge the success of your website without knowing what is happening on it. It is vitally important that you carefully analyse who is coming to your website, where they are coming from and what they are doing on your website once they arrive. You can do this with a website statistics program, these are commonly referred to as website analytics and there are many options out there. Some such as Google Analytics, are free and do a great job.

I hope you have enjoyed this series of postings on common website mistakes - don't let it scare you, though! There are hundreds of fantastic website developers across Australia who will do a fabulous job for you. Don't be afraid to pepper them with questions and research their background in great detail. You also need to have a firm plan on what you want from your website and what will be judged a success or failure.
