Today’s Tip:

People will scroll as long as they know there is something below. If you have expandable sections on your pages make sure when the user clicks them you add value to their experience. If it just expands the area by two items the value added will probably be a disappointment. It could possibly turn your users off to clicking on any others on your site.

Today’s Tip:

If you are going to have events promoted on your homepage make sure there are events in the listing. You don’t know who is viewing your site, it could be a first time perspective student, alumni or donors you never know. Make a good impression and let them know there are things happening on campus.

Today’s Tip:

If you have things that are staying consistent through many pages of the site or are large and don’t change every page refresh you should include a far future header when serving those items up. This way when someone visits the page again they don’t have to re-request the image or asset, it will pull from the browsers local cache.
