What To Look For
When we make updates, there could be nothing to edit to make the website have the same “look” as it did previously and other times when there are many website changes. When reviewing the website after an update you should look at it as “WHAT CAN I FIND FOR AN EDIT”! AN EYE FOR DETAIL is crucial when viewing the websites. It’s not just a look through a website very quickly, and clicking around but rather looking for inconsistencies in spacing, inconsistencies in photo sizes, inconsistencies in font size, inconsistencies in dates being past, amongst just what you believe looks out of place.
The most important tip I can give you is get to know our websites inside and out. When just getting started, look through every page prior to a website updates so when you make the update you’ll be able to spot the needed edits. If you don’t know, always ask! I have been doing edits for 8+ years and involved in every website build so I know what the websites are supposed to look like. When reviewing, be critical and ask lots of questions as you become the expert in keeping the “look” and “functionality” through each website update!
Look At The Below Images And See What’s Wrong
Below are not all of the website problems that occur when reviewing an updated website but rather a few examples of what to look for…both easy and having an EYE FOR DETAIL. Again, ask yourself, what can I find for an edit!

Problem 2: The hamburger menu at the top of the page needs to be larger.
Screenshot 6

Screenshot 7
Problem: There is no spacing under call but spacing under email and hours.
Screenshot 8
Problem: The left and right of the photo has spacing, remove spacing on the left and right.
Screenshot 9
Problem: Remove the white background color between the grey backgorund and the burgondy background. After the edit, the grey background and burgany background should touch.

Problem: The left side of the page is cut off. When you scroll on a cell phone try to scroll left and right, if it allows you to scroll left and right, you’ll want to fix this with CSS margins.
