HAVE YOU NOTICED THAT YOUR online sales are lower than they used to be? Are fewer visitors clicking through your Web site? Heres an explanation you may not have considered: Your Web site may not be running as smoothly as it should be. For instance, your sites coding may not work well with multiple browsers. It may not be user-friendly, and visitors may have difficulty navigating it. Or your site may take too long to load. Studies show if a Web page doesnt load within eight seconds, roughly one-third of potential visitors give up on the site. You should always be checking on your Web site to make sure it is running smoothly, especially in todays environment, says Bill Gassman, a research director at Gartner Inc. in Stamford, Connecticut. Bad online experiences can cause users to leave a site, contributing to brand erosion and ultimately reducing overall revenues. It may be time to give your site a tune-up. There are many software tools and services designed to make sure a site is in good working order. One popular service is offered by Keynote NetMechanic pany offers HTML Toolbox 2.0, which spots and mon HTML code errors and generates a repaired file to upload to your Web host. It also has non-HTML-related features, such as finding out how long it takes your Web sites pages to load, and presses the GIF, animated GIF and JPEG images without sacrificing image quality. The street price is $60 per year for a Web site with less than 100 pages, and $200 per year for sites with more than 100. panies that offer similar products and services are Watchfire and Coast Software Analysts suggest that, to get the maximum benefit from these kinds of services, you should check your site weekly or monthly. If your site changes frequently, you should practice upkeep even more regularly. Better Than Ever Jeff Bjorck, a pianist poser of acoustic positions in Monrovia, California, believes strongly in making sure his Web site is running efficiently. Bjorck, who sells his CDs on his Web site, , designed his site with Microsoft FrontPage and went online in 1998. But when he browsed his site as a visitor would, he discovered that it looked different in Internet Explorer than in Netscape Navigator. FrontPage interfaces nicely with Internet Explorer, so it looked exactly as I had designed it on that, says Bjorck, 42. But idiosyncrasies showed up in Netscape, such as different fonts and different spacing between lines. As a result, he decided to sign on with Keynote NetMechanic.
