So, how can you tell that your website is in good hands? Well, that answer is easy – hire Monarch 😎! While we highly suggest it – below you will find some pointers on how to monetize your website 🚀.

Site Architecture

Website architecture is the way your website is structured or laid out. Put short, it is the way customers navigate your website and absorb your content online. Here is a quick, short way to develop a solid site architecture.

1. Don’t create a website that is complex and/or hard to navigate.
2. Create a content plan and strategy that is consistent across all mediums.
3. Limit page depth.
4. Create meaningful links.

Navigation

Website navigation consists of the individual components that make up your websites sitemap. The primary focus of a websites navigation should be:

1. Usage priority (highlighted in a tier fashion on your sitemap).
2. Website pattern.
3. Website / landing page placement.
4. Ease of access from a UX perspective.

UI/UX

The UI/UX of a website refers to the User Experience and User Interface. This is one of the most important parts of website design / development, as it directly affects how a user interacts and uses your website. Here are some of the most important components to UI/UX:

1. Strategy and context of content.
2. Wireframing and prototyping.
3. Responsiveness and interactiveness.

Content

Content is and should be the bread and butter of your website. WHY? Well, not only is it the main reason users navigate your website, it’s also how you are portrayed through the eyes of search engines. When it comes to content, here are some things to keep in mind:

1. Create focused / meaningful content.
2. Content provides great opportunity for internal and external link building.
3. Content consistency allows for opportunity with keyword and position development.
4. Align content for ease of use and access.

Authority & Trustworthiness

Every website on the internet has a level of authority and trustworthiness that occupies it. In short, website authority refers to the strength of a given domain. We can test this by looking at the quality and quantity of links on a given website. Website trustworthiness is broken into two individual silos – website reputation and website security. Here are some things to keep in mind when thinking of website authority and trust:

1. Create a credible website focused on facts.
2. Build a stable audience online.
3. Build out accurate FAQs.
4. Cite your sources and build out your links.
5. Create solid testimonials and reviews.

Framework Optimization

Framework optimization refers to the optimization of the content management system (CMS) that your website is built on. Historically, any open-source CMS is preferred for site load, SEO, accessibility, and content distribution. With that said, we at Monarch prefer WordPress. While WordPress originated as a blog-centric CMS platform, it has quickly adapted to become one of the most robust and versatile website CMS platforms out there. Here is a great blog from Flywheel highlighting why WordPress is the best CMS to use in 2020.

Proper Rendering Protocol

Proper rendering of a website is often one of the more overlooked facets of website design and development. Website rendering is the process where bots retrieve your website pages, examine your content, and assess your content to better understand your website layout / structure. At Monarch, we have always focused on Googlebot rendering first, as more than 95% of all searches are done through Google. Here is a great resource to see how a browser renders your website: View Rendered Source.

We know this stuff can be confusing. At the end of the day we understand that you don’t have time as a business owner, manager, or executive to worry about minor details like website rendering or framework optimization. As a result, Monarch is offering FREE website development for everyone. Our goal is to democratize website development, so that everyone can have an online presence.
