Web Design - When Do You Need a New Website?

If you have a website, there will be a time when you decide to change the look and feel of it. Before you revamp your website, you must consider it properly. To revamp your website, there must be a specific reason and you need to identify it. Is it because there is a change in your corporate color? Or perhaps you want a more refreshing look and feel on your website? Whatever reasons you have, when you feel is time to change it, do it.

If you have the same design for years, it is good to consider changing the design of your website. You will not want your visitors to leave your site because it is outdated and boring. The industry of web design is always changing. Every day, there are new compliance and standards. Today, websites need to be search engine friendly, engaging, interactive and user-friendly. If your current website does not fit the bill, it is time to revamp it.

Although it is important to keep yourself updated to the trends of web design, it does not mean that you need to revamp your website every year. It is recommended to do a major revamp once every three to four years. During this period, there can be little touch-ups to the website.

Other than changing the design of your site, you should consider updating the content regularly. No one wants to see outdated content. A good idea is to add a blog to your website and post new entries once or twice every week. Also, search engines love fresh content. With fresh content, search engines will rank your website higher on their search result listings.

One thing to consider before you redesign your website is to determine whether it will lose its current identity. This is because your long-time visitors or customers may be too used to your old design and may not be able to recognize your new look. There is a chance that you will lose them as they could think that they have landed on the wrong page. So make sure that you retain some of your current identity, such as logo and corporate color.

Last but not least, your website should be consistent with other marketing collateral. Website is your marketing tool and nothing is more annoying than having a website that is completely out of sync with your current marketing collateral.
