8 Signs It’s Time To Update Your Website

Now more than ever, customers are doing business online. If it’s been a while since your website was designed, chances are it’s time for a refresh. Here are eight signs it’s time to update your website.

1. Your website isn’t mobile responsive

Over 50% of websites are viewed on mobile devices. If your website isn’t mobile-friendly, users will quickly become frustrated and move on.

2. It just doesn’t look very good

Your company’s website may be the first and only chance to make an impression. Like all advertising, your website should be consistent with your brand. Nothing makes a good first impression like a professional, custom design.

3. Nothing to see here

A good website should have a purpose. It should have meaningful content, eye-catching graphics, and call to action. These key elements help visitors quickly find what they are looking for, give them reasons to keep coming back, and guide them to take action.

4. Hard to navigate

If visitors can’t quickly and easily find what they are looking for, they will leave your website. Well-planned website navigation is a key part of a good user experience.

5. Lost in space

If your website isn’t showing up in search engines or isn’t ranking very high, it isn’t properly optimized. Search engine optimization (SEO) is key to new customers finding you.

6. Outdated technology

If your website “looks” unprofessional and out of date, its technology probably is, too. Websites that experience errors, slow page speeds, high bounce rates, and lack security (https) are candidates for a redesign.

7. Hard to make changes

If you have to be a programmer, or contact one, to udpdate your website, you will probably put off or spend too much making regular updates.

8. No call to action

Whether you are selling products, generating sales leads, requesting reviews or seeking social media followers, it should be easy for visitors to take action. A well-designed website can increase conversion rates, calls, and sales.
