[humanser] Human Services Website

[Michael Babcock]

Thanks for this website:
First of all, what is the point of the website? E.G. what do you or the group, want to accomplish with having a website?
Secondly, you should consider adding a mailing list so visitors can join a mailing list maybe to learn about upcoming events. I suggest “Convertkit” for mailing lists, however others use mail chimp or other limiting free mailing list software platforms.
Hears a “convert kit with voiceover” playlist you can listen to me doing some tasks with voiceover:

And then I’ve also got a free month of Convertkit if the devision wants to try it out:

The other thing I would change is log into Wordpress admin panel, go to customize, and modify the very last link with a “back to top” anchor text;;;
If we are a website for blind users, then we need to strive to provide an accessible website and having an unlabeled link at the bottom, ahem, doesn’t really do this :)
Another thing, when your viewing an article the heading isn’t showing up just before the article, but showing up above the menu then you see the date of the published article and the article it’s self. This could be streamlined, maybe find a theme or make some customization to this theme to place the heading above the text of the article, but this also could just be me :)
You may want to consider removing the dates from the website as it’s been 7 months > since last the website was updated with content. This shows people that this website isn’t regularly updated.
Also, google loves consistent content.
That’s it, and thanks for creating this resource.
best.

Disclaimer:

If you click a link in this or other content published by me, it’s possible you may be clicking an affiliate link.
Clicking an affiliate link simply means i took the time to establish a relationship of some sort with companies so these companies would pay me a portion of what you pay them for the product or service you order.
I do this because it’s my goal to do what i can to provide the best life for my younger brothers and my wife who has done so much for our family.
You do not pay any more for ordering threw an affiliate link then what you would pay if you ordered the content directly threw the company producing the product/service.

I’ll be sharing more information about affiliate marketing in the Payown.Club <http://payown.club/> coming in March 2017.
Contact me if you have any question about what this means for you, and if you don’t wish to support me threw using affiliate links I publish, feel free to google the company/product/service.
