4. Test Your Forms
In conjunction with updating your automated messages, we will test your forms to confirm that they're still functioning correctly.

5. Check Your Site's Search Feature
Like most of the items on this list, checking your site's search feature should be done more than once a year. But we know it's not always possible to review all aspects of your site on an ongoing basis. That's why it's important to make sure your search is functioning effectively and that outdated content isn't showing up as part of your annual review.

6. Check Your File Sizes and Download Times
If a lot of updates and additions have been made to your site, it might be time to check your site's performance. It's not unusual for page and image files to slowly creep up in size with each successive update. Re-optimizing your files so your pages load faster will make for a better user experience.

7. Review Your Stylesheets, Standards, Accessibility and Compatibility
If you want to save some serious time for your visitors—and for yourself during site maintenance—the annual review is the perfect time to revisit or set site standards covering CSS, Web Standards, Accessibility and Browser Compatibility.

8. Update Your Time References and Copyright
About Us and other background information on your site may contain specific time references such as "for ten years". Your site may also include a historical timeline or list of accomplishments that should be updated at the start of the year. In addition, your copyright should be updated when your content is updated.

9. Check Your Search Engine Visibility
Over the past year, search engines have become one of the most important and cost-effective sources for attracting targeted traffic and increasing brand awareness for many sites. At the same time, many changes have taken place in how search engines return results and display paid (sponsored) listings. As a result, we will check your site's visibility on the top search engines by searching for your company name, products and other appropriate keyword phrases. If your site isn't coming up near the top of the results for these terms, you should look into the benefits of marketing your site through search engine optimization and paid placement:

10. Assess Your Site's Content & Features
Reviewing all of your site's content and features, rather than just the specific items listed above, is a great way to take a big picture look at your site and identify content and features that should be added, updated or removed. As part of your review, you should also identify areas of your site that may require better procedures or tools to streamline the maintenance process.
