If you feel like your website isn’t attracting enough visitors (or prospects) on the web, below are 14 reasons why you should transform it by giving it a new fresh look
- Increased Indexing
Search Engines are constantly trying to find sites that have been recently updated. Such sites are indexed more often, thus increasing your chances of ranking higher in Search Engines.
- Your Site Takes Longer Than 2 Seconds to Load
With users’ attention spans rapidly decreasing with each passing day, don’t expect to hang around waiting longer than 2 seconds for your site to load. Identify what’s causing delayed load time and upgrade your website accordingly.
- Upgrade to The New
Website development and designing technology is rapidly evolving so if you’re still using old versions of software, frameworks and packages, it is time to upgrade. Sometime small changes to UX design or software make a huge difference to the look and accessibility of your website.
- High Bounce Rate
A high bounce rate indicates that your website is not very user friendly and has less responsiveness. If you have a cluttered or confusing website layout, you can be sure that your website needs a redesign.
- Low Traffic
When the design and content on your website becomes stale, web traffic will slowly dwindle to obscurity because web users are attracted to fresh websites. Analyse your Google Analytics data to determine how your web traffic reduced and what you can do to improve it.
- The Beauty of A Well-Designed Website
There are special web design tools that you can use to make your website look professional and well-structured. Use high-quality graphics, colours, and styles to make it look brand new, and appealing to website visitors.
