Have you wondered if your library’s website needs some work? How do you decide that, without being subjective? How do you know what to measure, or how to measure it? There are many current standards for content, images, navigation, usability, and more that can be readily applied to your website, allowing for a more objective analysis of what you currently have. A website audit can provide a valuable framework, especially before beginning a full or even partial redesign of your library’s site.

In this one-hour webinar—the second part of a three-part workshop on library websites—learn from Laura Solomon, a web developer and library services manager, about data-based principles that can guide your future work and discover some tools that can provide concrete specifics for elements that may need attention.
