3 more reasons why you might need a new website
Your website is built with antiquated template that is invisible to Google.
If your website is built on a template, it can only serve as a digital business card because it is absolutely worthless when it comes to SEO and Google. Templated websites are a nightmare when it comes to SEO because these types of sites are invisible to Google.
If your website can’t get Google rankings, chances are you aren’t keeping up with the times. Websites today are built with optimal search engine features that will help bring in leads and generate revenue for your small business.
Are there functions and features that are no longer used?
As websites mature and grow, it often becomes apparent that certain parts just aren’t working well anymore and are becoming outdated.
Is there something on your site that isn’t working? If so then it may be time to either remove it, or if it is a major part of your site, restructure or redesign your site so that the underperforming feature is long gone.
Does your website take a long time to load?
Current trends are to make sites load faster and not download so much information. This is because there are Internet providers and smartphone carriers who are limiting the amount of data we are allowed. With these limits being placed on our usage, businesses would be doing a disservice to their visitors if they make them download tons and tons of information, imagery, and scripts just to view our site while costing them precious data.
Most web developers agree that if your site takes longer than five seconds to load, then you should look into optimizing your site. After about five seconds on slower bandwidths, people become disinterested and will leave your site.
