Make & Put An Attractive Logo
The third most important step is to design and add a logo to your website. A logo basically helps you to get the instant attention of online visitors/viewers on a search engine. When any netizen opens up multiple tabs on a browser then your website’s logo will help him to know about your blog/website. Also, it will tell them about your website in the bookmark option. Nowadays, there are many online free tools to create instant and free logos such as Canva, Online Logo Maker, etc.
Rearrange widgets to make them look eye-catching
It has been seen writers with free sites don’t pay attention to ‘meta’ widgets, the elements which accompany your content. That’s why you need to prioritize your presentation to elevate the appearance of your site.
- Go to your themes, click Customize.
- Choose Widgets from the menu, based on your theme, you will see multiple widget areas to choose from such as sidebar and footer. WordPress allows you to customize them too.
- Make sure you don’t add all the widgets or your widget area is not populated already. Start by adding single widgets, then click Add widget to add the one you want. Don’t forget to Save and Publish once you are done.
Generally, bloggers find it difficult to customize navigation tabs and the default setting takes every page on the navigation menu. Here’s how you fix this.
- Make sure to give categories to your writing be it blogs, social media content, or random posts
- Now, choose the menu option from My Site, you’ll see multiple menus available there, click Add New Menu
- You’ll see a list of your pages, check the boxes of pages you want to add to the menu, then click Add to Menu
Manage comments on pages
This may sound absurd but you don’t need comments for your blogs, pages are different from posts, so unless the page intends to collect public opinion, disable them.
- Click Pages from My Site, choose pages you want to want to disable comments on.
- Choose More Options from the menu
- And make sure to uncheck the box of Allow comments at the bottom.
Don’t forget your contact information
A final and most underrated step that most of the writers miss out on is providing clear contact information. You heard it right, if you’re trying to attract potential clients, then the simplest way to get in touch with them is through email or skype address. Also remember to include your social follow buttons, as a client might contact you through social media. While rearranging the widgets, you can choose the text widget to add your contact info, or you can use the built-in contact info widget.
