5 Tips for Spring Cleaning Your Website

1. Review your site. Click through all the pages of your website to ensure everything is up to date and functioning as expected. If you haven’t yet, make sure to activate your site’s global contact footer.
   
   
2. Check for broken links. Web addresses may change or be retired. For Chrome browser users, we recommend using the extension Check My Links to periodically check your site. You can also request a broken link report for your site by emailing webproject@dornsife.usc.edu.
   
   
3. Add alt text to all of your images. Digital accessibility is required under federal ADA guidelines. Here’s how to add alternative text descriptions to your images if they don't already have them.
   
   
4. Review your published faculty and staff lists. Are your site directories up to date? This is especially important if you built the rosters on your site. Dynamic lists should automatically update with any faculty or staff changes but it never hurts to check them, too. 
   
   
5. Check who has access to edit your site. It’s been almost a year since most sites went live. Does your user list need to be updated? If so, here’s how to update it.
