In technology, a theory exists called Moore’s Law. This states that the central computer processing chips double in capacity every two years. That means that images load quicker (if your website is not fully loaded in six seconds, you probably lost your visitor), there are new ways of formatting code and new ways to deliver content.
Keep your website relevant to your customer and the search engines:
Non-Content: You probably need to spring clean your website at least once a year with significant changes (maybe even a revamp) every two years to avoid a stale and weary look. Take a calculated review of your design, buttons, banners and navigation. If your targeting website conversions, make sure your website is working in that way for you.
Content: Update your products and services every time they change. You do not want your site lagging behind on what’s really available to your customer. If you have a blog, update it once a week. Content for website pages needs to be changed at least every three months. That keeps it fresh and gives the search engines new information to access. Refresh your images, too. Especially those of real people. They attract visitors and keep them on your site longer.
Your website is not permanent. You want it to reflect the changes in you, the business and your customers.
Two critical questions to ask about your website today: Is it mobile friendly? Is it connected to Facebook and Twitter or other social media?
