There comes a time when your website needs to be redesigned.\u00a0 This usually\u00a0involves multiple factors.\u00a0 Code has changed substantially in the past 3 years which provides more options for your website,\u00a0and \u00a0certainly better performance within browsers.\u00a0 Leaner code means a faster download which is something Google favors in page ranking.\u00a0 Websites benefit from a fresh view.\u00a0 Look it over and discuss with your designer what elements can be improved upon, enhanced, things which are obsolete and how to optimize the space to lead the visitor through the website, while keeping navigation ease a priority.\u00a0 A\u00a0mobile presence is critical: whether a free-standing, side by side site or a\u00a0responsive website (requiring a makeover of your old site) you can’t ignore\u00a0mobile users.<\/p>\n

This site served well for its time, when monitors were smaller, dial-up connections were still around, images needed to be as small as possible, beveled buttons and gradients were trendy and 800 pixels was the maximum width the W3 consortium recommended.\u00a0 Enter the fun.\u00a0 Now browsers and monitors span much wider screens, large optimized images are easily handled by browsers and bandwidth. And the most fun of all, design has changed using a much broader palette of colors: beautiful bold, flat colors which\u00a0let the design breathe and make the web page less cluttered while still offering the same key points, call to actions and copy.\u00a0 Visual matters in marketing.\u00a0 \u00a0A website redesign will keep your website ahead of your competition whose sites may be tired and sagging.\u00a0\u00a0A fresh looking website\u00a0represents your business well to visitors.\u00a0 It’s your first impression to potential clients – make the best of it.<\/p>\n
