If your home based business has a website (and most likely it does) have you tested it lately?

Testing a website involves many things and you probably don’t want to get bogged down on the process of testing.

But at the same time, it’s important to test a website periodically to make sure the most important things are functioning.

Things change over time and sometimes you don’t even have control over the changes. For example, your shopping cart host or web host might upgrade their software.

These kinds of changes can cause unknown cascading effects. You won’t want your customers to experience the problems so it’s best that you (or someone you can trust) do the testing.

Here are some things that top the testing list:

1. Order and Payment Process.

2. Broken Links.

3. Browser compatibility.

4. Functionality.

Having components of your home based business website that don’t work will ultimately cost you customers and can also harm your brand.
