6 Signs Your Website Needs Revamping
by Ben Goodman ***When was the last time you had your website redesigned? Or you might not have checked up on it at all since the moment it was built. Yes, websites don’t get dusty or catch cobwebs when you leave them for a long time. Doesn’t mean they remain perfectly functional as they used to be.
If you’re planning to go strong with marketing this year and you checked your website’s situation, here are the signs that will tell you that you definitely need a redesign.
Your Website Speed Is Very Slow
An optimized website is quick to load. If you visit your website and it takes about 5 or more seconds to load, that’s already a sign that it needs improvement. It might be that you need a new web hosting service provider, or a some tweaking with the codes.
Your Website Doesn’t Compare to Your Competitors
As a business in the digital marketing competition, it’s your job to check what your competitors are doing. A customer will always choose a business that has a better website. Why? Because they seem more trustworthy. Your website will reflect your brand. If it’s slow and outdated, that says that your business isn't informed and equipped to give your clients what they need.
Parts of Your Website Aren’t Working
One broken link, page, or button is minor and can be fixed easily. But if it’s a pervasive problem in your website, it’s a sign that your website needs scanning and fixing. This is a major alert and should be addressed immediately if you want to keep your audience. They can’t navigate through your website and consume your content if it isn’t working properly.
Your Website Has Bad SEO
Wondering why you aren’t generating the same amount of traffic you used to? It might be because search engines are having a hard time finding your website. Search engines update and change their algorithms all the time. Your SEO efforts from last year won’t have as much impact if you don’t do it consistently. It’s about time you use new SEO tools and redesign your website.
You Aren’t Optimized for Mobile
It’s 2018 and the mobile user population will only continue to grow. People surf the internet on their mobiles anywhere they go. Mobile is more convenient and that’s why businesses shouldn’t ignore the potential traffic and conversions you can get.
Your Website Isn’t Optimized for Social Media
Social media today is huge. Internet users spend hours and hours on social media every day. If you’re still not visible on any of the popular social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or Google+, it’s definitely time for a revamp. People love to share content on social media these days, and to maintain your relevance in the competition, your website must allow that feature.
Yes, redesigning your website costs money. That’s why an affordable web design company and being able to gauge wisely if you truly need it or not are what you need.
