2 more reasons why you might need a new website

Are parts of your site not functioning properly?

Does your site have things that are broken or constantly giving you errors like the dreaded “404 not found” message? While it is often a simple fix to correct these broken elements, it could indicate a bigger problem: your site is disorganized or is being mishandled.

This is often solved and prevented by using a content management system that can manage your content so that you are not losing pictures or broken links to improper or accidental management of your site.

If you have multiple broken links, error messages, and missing images, then you should consider a complete website redesign that will include the installation and use of a content management system.

Is the copyright year in your footer any other year than this year?

If the copyright statement in your footer has a year that is anything other than this year, chances are you haven’t updated your site for a while. Your site is pretty stale at that point. If it says 2012 or earlier, then you are signaling to your clients that you haven’t updated the site, and they will leave. This is a good signal of needing a website redesign, especially if that year is 2007 or earlier. The same goes for any blog posts or integrated Twitter feeds.
