Today visited a site with an extensive form. First error was the amount of requested data, nobody is willing to provide information which they consider unnecessary and too detailed. Limit the amount information requested to the absolute minimum, and let people decide if they want to provide more.
This is a sure way to lose potential customers, just as they are ready to contact you.

It does not matter how big you are, there can still be problems.
Naturally I recommend a full website audit, (which is what I do). Today I visited a major international company website where I am registered as a customer, to change a telephone number. Their system would not accept the change because my number had more digits than the form could accept.
It is important that a form is capable of accepting international numbers if you wish to ensure customer satisfaction. Do you stress test your forms?

First impressions count. A true story
A customer operates a company Blog. The first thing noticed is the date. Over 2 months old. The info is just boring and there are 26 photographs, some with a single word of description. Don't make this mistake.
Everybody knows Blogs should be informative, useful and up to date. This is not the place to put a brochure. Keep the information short, link to additional information on your home website and add items at least once a week. Simple but effective.
