How to apply it

  1. Write the about page

    State who runs the site, where the team is based, what the business sells and how it makes money. Name the people where possible.

    Check: The about page names the organization, a location and the business model.

  2. Add a working contact method General best practice

    Provide a monitored form or email address, plus a phone and address for local businesses. Test the form and publish response expectations.

    Check: A test message sent through the contact form reaches the team inbox.

  3. Link and mark up consistently General best practice

    Link both pages from the footer on every template and mirror the details in Organization markup.

    Check: Every sampled page footer contains links to both pages, and the Organization markup matches the about page.
