My sister and I joke that nothing in our house stays the same for longer than a few months. It seems like we never run out of projects to do or ways to reimagine our space and make it work better or look better. Whether this means rearranging, changing up the pictures on the walls, painting, getting new pillows, or adding a new rug, our house has gone through lots of design changes over the last year, and even now, we are still working to get my room in particular to feel and look like me. I like to think of this as home maintenance, which is different from a redesign, though I am sure that in a year or so she will decide it is time to redesign at least some part of our house. Websites can be thought of in a similar way: you should be performing regular maintenance on your site to make sure that everything is working the way it is supposed to and looks current, and every year or so, it is time to consider redesigning your site to keep up with trends and aesthetics.
Your Web Pro LLC generally recommends considering a redesign at least every 18 months. This timeline allows for your website to do what it is supposed to and offers you time to consider a redesign before things change too much. When you consider that there is a new iPhone released about once a year, it seems rational to think about updating or redesigning your website more often. Things move fast in our world, and you don’t want your website to be left behind because it doesn’t look current or doesn’t run efficiently. You should also consider a redesign when anything major happens for your company such as a second location opening, new ownership or management, changes in the offering or industry, or a relocation. This is important information that you want your customers to know! You also increase your organic SEO by changing up your content and site regularly.
When you redesign your website, you are doing more than giving it a new look. An up-to-date site increases the likelihood of visitors returning, encourages them to stay and browse around, and ensures that your site is running a user-friendly interface. A redesign can help your site function more effectively and create an experience that customers will want to return to. Your Web Pro is happy to assist you with your website redesign.
