The Importance of Updating your Website
Your website is your digital storefront. It is the liaison between you and your customer during their initial research process. Therefore, it is important to leave a good first impression here, just as you would if they walked through the doors of your brick and mortar. Here are some tips to make that digital first impression just as good as the real one:
Fast load time
Optimize your website to load as fast as possible. The average load time on pages is between 2-3 seconds. If your website takes longer than this, the user could get impatient and leave before they even see your site.
Mobile Friendly
Mobile phones make up 50 percent of Internet traffic worldwide. Therefore, if your website is not optimized for mobile you are missing out on a gigantic business opportunity.
Updating Content
People go to your website to find out who you are, what you do, and how much it costs. If they find outdated information on your site, this will leave a bad impression. Therefore it is important to review your website on a monthly basis to make sure the hours, location, prices, etc., are up to date.
Security
Many times, neglected websites get viruses on them, decreasing their load time and value. By updating the security and version of your website, it becomes better protected. These are just a few tips to show how important it is that you keep your website freshly updated. For more information, give us a call at 401.949.8000.
