We caught up with Rachel Plasse, owner of RP Integrated Marketing, who has spent most of her marketing career working with B2B and B2C large corporations. In this Videocast, she gave us expert tips on how to keep things consistent when it comes to marketing on your website.

3 Expert Tips for Keeping Things Consistent on Your Website

1. Navigation: You are going to want to keep the navigation consistent across the site, especially if you are in need of combining more than one site for a seamless experience.

2. Content: If you are writing sporadically and randomly, website users will see you are not active. Try to commit to some sort of cadence to stay relevant to your audience.

Beyond that—you always want to make sure each blog post follows some consistency as well. If you decide to use a featured image, for example, this should be done on every blog. Keep sizing of the photos, styling of the text, and even SEO best practice in mind while writing.

3. Talk to Your Customers: Talking to your customers in some format will help your creative thoughts fly. Customers can reveal things to you about your business that you never thought of before. Just think, you could have 100 new social media posts and 20 blog ideas to write about afterward. This promotes consistency because you will know the exact topics you will need to be talking about each time you write a blog.

Okay now go forth and do the damn thing. You can do this, Rockstar!!

I started my digital life in 2007, writing and managing content for lifestyle publications covering motorcycles, golf, and winter sports. The team I worked alongside went on to become executive producers, podcasters, cinematographers, and senior designers. That environment taught me to move fast, stay curious, and figure things out as I go. It's where I discovered that digital publishing, marketing, and web design are all parts of the same puzzle, and I've been rearranging the pieces ever since.

For over fifteen years, I've worked as an extension of my clients' marketing teams across industries ranging from executive recruitment and telecom to healthcare, legal services, and nonprofits. The specific sector changes; the job doesn't. Say what you mean, make it easy to find, and build something that actually works for the people using it.

I'm a refined yinzer, a proud RMU alumna (Go Colonials), and my son's biggest fan. I think in systems, celebrate neurodivergent thinking, and practice festina lente, which is a fancy way of saying I believe in doing things right instead of doing them fast. I'm also the person most likely to disappear into a Sleep Token rabbit hole when I should be doing something else.

Everything I know about doing good work comes down to one Pittsburgh proverb: don't be a jagoff.
