5 Questions to ask yourself when preparing for a website redesign or revamp
In
today’s digital world, getting your website re-designed and/or re-developed is just as
exciting as re-decorating your office or shop premises. Sprucing up your
website can boost your team’s morale, create a better impression for your
prospective customers when they visit your online ‘shop window’ and be a great
chance to improve your website’s images, content, SEO and User Experience of
your website.
Treating
your business to a new website design is also a brilliant opportunity to
modernise the design and make sure it’s mobile-friendly, interactive and up to
industry standards in terms of security. In fact, we recommend that you give
your website a refresh every 6 months to keep up with the latest trends and
maintain your site properly.

website design?

existing website and hosting situation, which would really speed up the website
