Is It Time to Redesign Your Website? 5 Things to Consider 🔎

Need a website redesigned? Why? Is it slow or unattractive? If you let out a deep breath does dust fly out of the computer? Look, the bottom line is, if you have to ask this question you probably already have the answer. Your website is the face of your company.  It is the first thing anyone sees before booking an appointment with you. If this were the late 90’s, you were at the top of your game if you simply had a website. As 2017 approaches you not only need a site, you need a sharp and navigable site that is user friendly and attractive. Here at Logic Web Media, we have helped hundreds of clients across long island revamp their existing sites. This brings them a stronger base of clientele and higher level of success. So if you need your site retooled and re-imagined, we’re the team for you. Let’s start with why you need the redesign in the first place. Here are 5 questions to ask yourself to determine if your site is ready for its extreme makeover.

1. Is Your Site Mobile Friendly?

This is the smartphone revolution and the majority of people use their phone for all of their inter web needs. In fact, over 20% of google searches are performed on mobile devices, and over 25% of people in the US use only their mobile device for the internet. If your company sells a product, or provides any kind of service, think about these statistics related to digital marketing. Most people are doing their shopping on their phones, so your site needs to be prepared for that. If you can’t see a full, mobile compatible version of your website on your phone, it’s time to give Logic Web Media a call.

2. How Are You Ranking?

Showing up on the first page of a google search sounds a lot better than page nine, right? Over 90% of online experiences begin at the search engine, and you want your site to be one of the first that are seen. If your search engine rankings are on the low side, you need some help with Search Engine Optimization. Creating a site with SEO in mind is a strong strategy to boosting your search engine results.

3. Are You Up To Speed?

How many seconds does it take for your site to load? If you’re counting past two seconds, that’s too long. Over 40% of internet consumers report abandoning a website if it takes over three seconds to load. Slow sites are incredibly detrimental to your company’s web success because not only are potential consumers leaving your page, but your search engine rankings are probably low. Our team of developers at Logic Web Media have the answers to speeding up your site and making its visitors want to stay!

4. How’s Your Social Life?

Your website’s social media presence is vital to its success and its like-ability. Social Media seems to rule the world nowadays, so having your company’s website linked to Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, and Twitter is a smart move. Linking up to these sites increases your company’s visibility to the max and leaves digital footprints on the web. Integrating social media also allows your audience easy access to your brand, creating a positive relationship between your company and the rest of the internet.

5. Do You Need to Clean House?

Your website is the face of your company, and your homepage is the face of your website. Is your homepage filled with pics, links, and too much text? It’s probably time to minimize the clutter with a redesign. It is important to create a site that is eye-catching and informative, but we want to avoid text and graphic overload. When a guest clicks onto your site, they need to be welcomed into what they know will be a positive and navigable experience. When a homepage is overwhelming to the eye it could be a turn-off.  That’s not what we want for your site. We know that your guests want to go to a site that is visually appealing and where all of the content is within easy reach of their fingertips.
