Features That Make A Podcast Website Stand Out In WordPress
There are different ways in which you can make your podcast website stand out in WordPress without too much hassle. Besides having a beautiful design and layout, you can make your podcast site more attractive and interesting to site visitors by including these features below:
👉 Be personal: Tell your audience more about you, your shows’ hosts, and more with a personalized About page. This will help your audience to relate with you and your content, while also helping you create a certain unique personality for your website
👉 Be organized: A good podcast website is one that is organized and easy to navigate. You want your visitors to be able to easily browse through your site and quickly find shows that interest them. For this reason, you should organize your podcast website. One way you can do this is by having seperate pages for your content such as a Seasons page and a seperate Episodes List page.
👉 Ask for support: If your listeners enjoy your podcast, they will want to support your show however they can. So be clear about how they can help support your show.
