Maybe you’ve had your website for a while, and you’re wondering if it’s time for a redesign. I’m asked that question all the time! The answer is both simple and complicated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You should redesign your website when the time is right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That’s not helpful? Well, it is a bit oversimplified. To elaborate, you need to redesign your website when it no longer fits your organization’s needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just because you’re bored with your website doesn’t mean it’s time for a redesign!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Typically, there are one of two reasons a website will no longer fit your needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Outdated technology<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sure, the latest and the greatest technology can be cool and even helpful. But most organizations can’t afford to have their website in a constant state of development. And with the web changing all the time, that’s what it would take.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, when your website can no longer do a reasonable job of accomplishing your organization’s goals because of outdated technology, it’s probably time for a redesign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Outdated design<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Those of us who live in the design world often suffer from Graphic Designer Attention Deficit Disorder. We stare at a particular design so long and spend so much time working on it that we get tired of it, and we want to see something new.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our clients at businesses and nonprofits run into the same thing! They look at their website so often that they get tired of it and think they need a new look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, there are legitimate design reasons to overhaul your website. You may have a new logo, may be using new colors, or might be making a big change in the direction of your business where the old look won’t fit. In those cases, sure, it might be time for a new look with a redesigned website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whatever the case, be sure that you really have a legitimate business reason to redesign your website. The commitment of time, money, and other resources isn’t worth it otherwise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A true web professional will sit down with you to help you make an informed decision about whether it’s time to redesign or not.<\/p>\n\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
