Thinking of redesigning your website?
Here are some of the reasons why re-designing your old website is crucial for your business.
More Mobile Based traffic
Mobile traffic has grown every year for the last decade, now accounting for 52% of all internet traffic. Distorted images, text and poor user experience are the issues users face when a website doesn’t render appropriately to a smaller screen.
According to Google, 61% of users are unlikely to return to a website that doesn’t work well on mobile, with 40% visiting a competitor’s website instead.
Needs Faster Loading Speeds
39% of users abandon a site if it takes too long to load. Loading speeds are a long established SEO ranking factor. Websites with a mobile responsive design load faster than their desktop equivalents, especially when accessed on a mobile or smart device.
It Lacks Basic On-Page SEO
To rank your website on Google, Bing and other search engines for relevant queries, including your business’s brand name, you must perform on-page search engine optimization (SEO). Each page, for example, should have a unique title tag describing the page’s main focus.
The title tag is an HTML element that’s displayed in browser tabs when the page is opened, but they are also used by search engines to create listings. You can customize the way your website is displayed on Google and Bing by creating unique title tags.
It Doesn’t Have Fresh Content
Without fresh content, your website will struggle to attract and retain visitors. Fresh content increases your site’s exposure in the search results, improves the overall quality of your site, and it compels visitors to return.
To take advantage of these benefits, update your site by publishing three to four new pages of high-quality content per week.
It’s Not Secured With HTTPS
The rise of online privacy breaches has led internet users to choose and use websites more cautiously than in the past. If a visitor doesn’t believe your website is secure, he or she may leave to ensure that their private information isn’t stolen or leaked.
To make visitors feel safe, your website should use the Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS). A type of encrypted network communication protocol, HTTPS scrambles data transmitted to and from your website to prevent unauthorized users from reading it. Using HTTPS will also give your site a secure padlock icon when viewed in the Chrome browser, whereas using HTTP will result in a “Not Secure” label.
