Is Your Website Design Out of Date?

Is Your Website Design Out of Date?

It's easy to overlook your website when your business website is running?smoothly. Because why fix what isn’t broken? But just like clothing trends change, so do website?designs—and so does the tech in creating a website’s structure. It’s important to stay on top of these ever-evolving?trends?for several reasons.

Out-of-Date Designs

There are a few ways your site can look, feel, and function in an out-of-date way:

  • Huge hero images
  • Vertical side bars
  • Meaningless or no?calls to action
  • Boring topography
  • Stock photos / very very old images / unprofessional images / no images
  • Jam-packed home pages
  • Autoplay music
  • Spammy pop-ups

Why It Matters

If you’re thinking “as long as it works, who cares?” the reality is that?out-of-date?design can be hurting your credibility. Internet users are far savvier than they used to be, and with so many scammers out there, users are more likely to judge a book by its cover—or a business by its?site. Out-of-date design can give the?impression?that your business is also outdated, or even dishonest.

Further, if your site design is out of date, your site structure is likely to be out of date as well. This means your site could inadvertently be excluding those with?disabilities. It could also be not easy to view on?mobile, meaning the majority of users won’t be able to access your site the way you intended.

Options

Refresh

If your site structure is good but the design is lacking, a site?refresh?may be a good option. Refreshes involve updating color schemes and fonts. Adding new features like a?blog?as well as professional images, complete with full descriptive?information, is beneficial for site visitors and?SEO.

Redesign

If your site looks old because it is old, it’s time for a full redesign. Having a custom-built site not only will bring your website visually up to date but structurally as well. If you’re concerned about a new site negating your?long standing?SEO, we have a solution for that. Our rebuild process involves identifying the key pages of your site and retaining the existing?SEO?through staging and redirected pages.
