Refreshing a website’s design every few years is essential to keep it visually appealing, functional, and aligned with modern trends. Technology and user expectations evolve rapidly, and an outdated design can make a site feel old-fashioned, reducing credibility and engagement. A redesign allows you to incorporate new features, improve navigation, and ensure mobile friendliness, which is crucial as more users access websites on mobile devices. It also provides an opportunity to optimize for speed and performance, enhance SEO, and comply with current accessibility standards.
Refresh for Success is our program that redesigns your website every two or three years, depending on the package. The advantage to this option, is the price of the new website is locked in at the time the program agreement is signed, and the fee is broken up into monthly payments over the term of the agreement (24 or 36-months). By the time your term is up, your new website will be live and totally paid for. By refreshing the design, you not only create a more engaging user experience but also stay competitive in the ever-changing digital landscape, ensuring your website remains relevant and effective.
