10 Clear Signs You Need a New Website.

Do you already have a website? Perfect! Is your website performing how you want? Are you getting the right people clicking and enquiring daily?

Customer preferences are changing rapidly and new trends are always taking over the internet. While your online presence is important, it is equally important to keep up with new web design advancements. How can you stand out among the millions of websites on the internet in your niche? And, most importantly, how do you reach the right people looking for your business?

We know that a website is not only about looking good, but also needs to work well and help you achieve your business goals. Our web design team has worked on hundreds of websites and we are here to help you.

Here are 10 very clear signs that you need a new website.

This list isn’t ranked in order of importance but a website that isn’t responsive should be a reason to consider a new design. Responsive web design will ensure that your website renders properly on different devices. It also means that every screen is rendered with a unique user experience, regardless of whether it’s a desktop, laptop, tablet, or mobile phone.

Most importantly, recent data shows that mobile browsing is now more popular than desktop browsing. More than 60% of internet users surf the web from their smartphones. You can’t afford to lose customers because your website isn’t responsive. You would think this is a common design process but you would be surprised at the high number of websites we see that have not adapted to have a responsive design.

Internet usage is changing rapidly as smartphones are becoming powerful mini computers. Making sure your website is responsive on all screen sizes is the responsibility of the web developer.

It is also a key component taken into consideration by Google when ranking a website in the search results. You can visit Googles PageSpeed test website: Pagespeed.web.dev to see how your current website scores in the eyes of Google and also see a list of recommendations.
