Is It Time to Update Your Website? Start with an Audit!

As a business owner, you’re likely used to audits of some kind. This might mean checking your stock, balancing your cash flow, or auditing your practices based on new regulations. Well, today we’re here to teach you one more helpful way you can audit your business– by checking if it’s time to update your website!

We recommend to give your website a review page by page to ensure all the details are in order. While doing so, we’ll share our list of some things to look out for.

Here are some ways you can tell if it’s time to update your website:

1. Part of your website is broken or not functioning right. We hope that the whole website isn’t down, so let’s start small. Check your forms, videos, images, navigation, and more for anything that just isn’t right. These parts need to be fixed for full website accessibility for your viewers!

2. Your website contains outdated information. Businesses can change over time– that’s normal. Check for any outdated information on your website, reviewing each page. You may find the content feels more outdated than you’d assume!

3. You haven’t added new content in over a month. That’s right, search engines expect you to update your website with new content frequently to perform well. We recommend updating your website with additional content at least once a month to stay on top of it.

4. The design feels outdated. When visiting your website, can you feel its age? Can you tell it’s lacking something? When comparing it to another website, does it match up to the standards? If not, it’s time for a refresh or total re-design!

5. Nothing’s wrong, but it just doesn’t feel like it matches your business anymore. This can happen over time! Our team is here to help you review your website to discover what’s missing. We can help you decide what doesn’t match up to your business and update as needed– or do a full re-design!

We’d be happy to help you update and maintain your website, ensuring it works well over time and helping keep it up-to-date. If you’d like to start from scratch, we custom build every website to each individual business. We can get started with a free consultation!
