Is it Time to modernize your website? Reasons Why Your Site Needs an Update
Exploring the top reasons why your website needs to be modernize. Is your website responsive, is it fast, is it secure, is it up to today’s technologies?
If you’re not sure whether your current website needs a facelift, consider these top criterias or reasons (listed in no particular order) of why your website may need a revamp asap.
Time to modernise your website?
So you took the plunge before the rest of the crowd? This shows that you understand the value and need in today’s business world to be seen. It is very rare that a website for example, two or more years old, is going to look like a modern reflection of the image you want to portray of your business. If this is the case then look no further, Creative Web Design 123 will take your current site and instead of ripping it to pieces, we will restore it with a fresh, vibrant and eye catching look that is oh so important to keeping a brand new visitor on the site long enough to see what you have to offer. A bad looking website can be worse than not having one.
You’re Not Attracting the Right Clients
Check the content and galleries you show on your website, remove the type of work you don’t want to do in the future (i.e. family, portrait, editorial, etc). Carefully select your best, fresh images (the type of projects you want to do more) and include them on your homepage, in your main slider. This will immediately filter out the inquiries which are not a good fit for you. Make sure all your content is consistent, including colors, fonts, icons, etc.
Outdated Theme & Technologies?
This one affects your visitors’ experience on your website. “Old school is cool” does not apply when it comes to functionality. The Internet and digital world is constantly changing and evolving. Web standards shift each year, dictating new tools and technologies for building a good website. Your potential clients’ preferences and tastes shift even faster. What was trendy yesterday, may not be tomorrow. If you want to get ahead of competition, stand out and be memorable, you need to be agile with your approach and website.
Therefore, if you’ve built your website over 7 years ago, most likely it’s far behind in terms of looks and functionality. It probably has outdated code that can slow down its loading speed or they way it responds on different devices (if it’s mobile friendly at all). It might also not be compatible with some of the latest popular browsers.
Does Your Website Load Slow?
Aim for a loading time under 5 seconds. If you’re not sure how quickly your site loads, use tools like Pingdom or GTmetrix to check how long it take for your site to load, and which files are the troublemakers. Poor results could mean you have some work to do. Slow loading could be caused for a number of reasons: heavy unoptimized images, underpowered hosting and even an old, poorly performing theme.
Web Security
To be honest, new or old, any website can be hacked. The experience is stressful and painful, especially when you lose information, or/and have to build everything from scratch. However, older websites rely on older technology, therefore chances of security breach are higher.
Responsive Mobile Friendly Website
I sure hope this is not the case, but if you still don’t have a Responsive Mobile Friendly Website. Even if you do have a responsive or adaptive design, you still need to keep up with the latest trends. Newer themes include modern css code which allows your site to adapt nicely to any device. They also allow you to hide certain page blocks for mobile, for a faster loading speed and nicer user experience.
It Doesn’t Reflect Your Brand
This one should be straightforward. Your website promotes you 24/7 in the online world. If you’ve rebranded recently, if your photography style and aesthetics have changed and evolved throughout the past seasons – your website should reflect and advocate that change.
Don’t fall behind the competition.
We guarantee to build you a site that will have the competition drooling. So why pick to have your site modernised? Well having your site modernised is a great alternative to starting all over again. If you have a site that is generating traffic but it has an image that reflects badly on your business, then we would definitely recommend going with site modernisation as opposed to a full rebuild.
