Below you will find 14 signs that your website needs a design revamp.<\/p>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1. Can&#8217;t Add New Functionality Like Live Chat or Video<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<p>An old website is a bit like blinders on a horse.  As long as you want the horse trotting along in the same direction, it&#8217;ll go just fine.  Need a sudden change?  It&#8217;s likely not going to happen.<\/p>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<p>In days of old, using video or live chat on a website was rare, so no one worried about adding it to the site, it just wasn&#8217;t done.  Now that we&#8217;ve evolved, it&#8217;s become clear that video helps with conversions and live chat as well.  Site owners of today what designers of yesterday hadn&#8217;t planned on delivering.<\/p>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<p>If your website can&#8217;t easily leverage the power of things like live chat or video, then it&#8217;s time to think about a redesign.<\/p>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. Competitors Sites Look Newer<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<p>On the laptop or iPad at night and checking out the competition websites?  It happens.  You&#8217;re not the only one who does this!<\/p>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<p>If your site looks 10 years out of date when compared to your top competitors (even if it&#8217;s only 3-5 years older), it could be that your website really is looking old and tired\u2026.  It&#8217;s a sign you need a redesign.<\/p>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. Doesn&#8217;t Integrate with Social Networks or PPC Campaigns<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Marketers, and some savvy site owners, will realize that retargeting visitors via social media or paid search engine PPC campaigns are the way to improve profits by driving visitors back to an offer about something in which they&#8217;ve expressed interest.<\/p>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<p>If you, or your technical team, have pointed out that the existing site is a royal pain to work work and that it&#8217;s because the platform is older than the hills, then it&#8217;s time to think about a redesign.<\/p>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4. Errors or Has Issues<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<p>You don&#8217;t have to put up with errors as being, &#8220;Just a fact of life because the site is old&#8221;.  Issues and errors are not built-in features that you have to accept and deal with &#8211; it&#8217;s just not that way any more.<\/p>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<p>If your site has numerous quirks or throws up embarrassing errors to staff and visitors, then it&#8217;s high time you look at getting them sorted as part of a redesign.<\/p>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s entirely possible that you could have the errors sorted without need for a redesign, but if you&#8217;re noticing truth in other items on this list of reasons to get a redesign, then it might be a good time to kill two birds with one stone.<\/p>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>5. Hard to Edit or Change Content<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Old sites are notorious for making changes a challenge.  When you&#8217;re dealing with a site that requires more effort to edit or change content than it&#8217;s worth, then you&#8217;ve got a problem that can be handled as part of a site redesign.<\/p>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<p>There are times when you need more than a simple re-skin (changes of CSS to adjust the look and feel) and instead need a full-blown revamp of the underlying platform.  Sometimes you have to change from old CMS to a more modern one or from pure HTML\/CSS to a friendly system like WordPress.<\/p>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>6. High Bounce Rates<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Suspecting a site is antiquated is one thing.  Asking a friend or family member may yield less than honest results, particularly when they don&#8217;t want to offend your delicate nature.  However, bounce rates don&#8217;t lie.<\/p>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Have a look at the bounce rates you&#8217;re encountering.  Look back at how they were after your last redesign &#8211; before the site aged in not so graceful manner.<\/p>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Typically, newly redesigned sites are found to be interesting, exciting and fresh.  They attract new eyes on site and those new eyes tend to click around on other pages to investigate.  A fresh new site has a better bounce rate (lower bounce rate) than a tired old site.<\/p>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>7. Looks Outdated or Is Just Plain Old<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<p>If your site is more than 3 years since its last major design overhaul, there&#8217;s a very good chance that it needs a refresh.  If it&#8217;s been more than 5 years, a redesign is virtually guaranteed.<\/p>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Being a site owner or site marketer, you&#8217;ve been looking at it every day.  Instead of asking internal staff what they think about the look of the site, ask a couple of your customers that are known for pulling no punches and who will give you an honest appraisal.<\/p>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<p>If it&#8217;s been ages, there&#8217;s little need to ask others &#8211; you know it needs a refresh.<\/p>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>8. Navigation is Difficult<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<p>It is possible to retool the website navigation without doing a full design refresh.  However, if you&#8217;re going to be making a major change to the site, like swapping navigation all around, it&#8217;s also a good time to consider redesigning the site.<\/p>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Major changes to function, features, navigation and URL architecture all can be done at redesign time without seeming like you&#8217;re &#8220;fiddling around&#8221; with the website.<\/p>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>9. Not Mobile Friendly \/ Not Responsive<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<p>The days of putting a website online without concern for mobile users (not responsive) are gone.  Now that search engines are using a mobile-first indexing approach, being mobile friendly is a necessity, even if you don&#8217;t believe that mobile users will be buying your products or services using mobile devices.<\/p>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Keep in mind that people use mobile, then visit local shops.  People use mobile, then finalize purchase decisions on desktops and tables.  Some people do all their shopping on mobile devices.<\/p>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<p>If your site isn&#8217;t mobile friendly, you need a redesign.<\/p>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>10. Rebrand Without Site Reflecting It<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<p>You&#8217;ve taken the plunge.  Your company has had a branding exercise.  You&#8217;ve paid a company and they&#8217;ve created a new logo and other items that identify your company and set it apart from all the others.  You&#8217;ve completed a rebrand.  Your old site can&#8217;t easily accommodate any of it!<\/p>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<p>When you need to make fundamental design changes to the site, such as integrating a new logo, color schemes or other items of global importance and your website can&#8217;t handle it with ease, it&#8217;s time to get a site redesign.<\/p>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>11. Security Issues \/ Risks<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<p>There are times when you have to drop back 5 and punt, cut your losses and get out from under a bad situation.  Although many security issues can be rectified with simple tasks like installing updates or patching holes, there are other times when security risks are a feature of a platform that&#8217;s no longer supported.<\/p>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<p>When your tech team has confirmed that you&#8217;re on a sinking ship and you need more than the help afforded by a few patches and updates, a redesign that goes hand in hand with a platform swap becomes a solution.  Maybe it&#8217;s time to consider installing WordPress, Joomla!, Drupal or other modern platform and getting your site migrated across.<\/p>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>12. SEO Issues<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Search engine optimization has evolved over the past 5 years.  What was considered the holy grail of getting to the top of Google is now something relegated to the &#8220;been there, done that&#8221; book.<\/p>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<p>SEO can be hampered by literally hundreds of different factors, some of which can be sorted with a website redesign.  If it&#8217;s been a few years and your SEO team (or person) is saying it&#8217;s now time to redesign and sort some of these out all together &#8211; then it&#8217;s time to give that thought due consideration.<\/p>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>13. Not Aesthetically Pleasing&#8230;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Sorry, but sometimes you&#8217;ve been sold a pig in a poke and bought a design a few years back that&#8217;s just plain ugly.  You know.  Others know it.  No one is saying it, hopefully.  But the fact remains, ugly sites exist.  We&#8217;re not talking about ugly sites that are ugly on purpose so that they get notoriety as the ugliest site on the web, such as Lings Cars.  We&#8217;re not talking about a dog so ugly that it&#8217;s cute.  We&#8217;re talking about sites that are just plain ugly.<\/p>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re the proud owner of an ugly site and know that it needs a redesign, then get off your thumbs and get the redesign moving forward &#8211; and please, don&#8217;t hire the same design team that made your current ugly site!<\/p>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>14. Uses Flash or Other Outdated Technology<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Flash isn&#8217;t the only technology that&#8217;s died and been buried.  Please, if your site is running on outdated technology, get out from under it before it buries you.<\/p>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Outdated technology can unnecessarily expose visitors to risks and that&#8217;s bad for everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Don&#8217;t stick your head in the sand.  Don&#8217;t pass Go and collect $200.<\/p>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<p>If any, some or all of these clues above that your site is in need of a redesign resonate with you then act now, not later, not someday &#8211; now.<\/p>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Get a redesign and get your site back in the game.<\/p>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Updated October 7, 2020 Rather than waiting for someone to comment on how out of date your site is, how your blog looks like it belongs in the Smithsonian or snickers at the website being very 1980&#8217;s retro, unintentionally, find out how you can know if your website is in need of a redesign.
