If you're unsure that your website is currently cutting the mustard, here are some areas to investigate to confirm whether it’s time for a website revamp: 

With so many websites and competitor businesses out there, having a website that stands out and makes a statement is key. It's important for a website to be memorable, recognisable, and modern. This portrays a business that is on top of its online marketing and a business that is an authority within the industry. If your website is not memorable or it's too similar to other websites, it could be time to refresh a few things. 

 

The world of website design and development is always changing, with new trends coming and going regularly. This means new and recently refreshed websites tend to stand out as modern, up-to-date, and on trend. A company with an impressive and refreshed website is one that appears professional, reliable, and trustworthy. If your website looks outdated, it could send the wrong message to potential clients and customers. You could be portraying yourself as a business that doesn't take digital marketing seriously, even if that's not the case. 

A lot of businesses change their branding to keep up with trends and to reflect the company better as it evolves, and your business could be one of them. However, unless you have had a website refresh lately, there is a high chance that your website no longer reflects the brand as a whole. Consistent branding is a key part of making sure a business is recognisable and memorable, and branding must be the same across the board. From the moment someone visits your website, it should be obvious who the company is and what they do. 

 

Your website should reflect every aspect of the business, including having information about every service and product and up to date images. There's also a high chance that you have added new employees, new services, and new projects to the business since the website's conception. If this is the case, a website refresh is needed to ensure everything is up to date. 

Though a website is there to provide people with information, its main job is to boost revenue, and this relies on attracting the right kind of people. If your website isn't bringing in leads and sales, there is a good chance that it's not attracting the right clients or customers. Otherwise, you will find that people visiting the website continue to leave quickly and rarely get in touch. There could be a number of reasons why your website isn't attracting the right clients, most of which can be solved with a website refresh. Significant changes can be made during a website refresh, all of which are aimed at making sure that you have the best chance of turning visitors into paying customers. 

 

A good way to attract the right clients is to add case studies, portfolio examples and a gallery to the website. This highlights who you are, what you do and the type of people you work with. It's also an effective way of showcasing the type of projects you would like to do more of in the future. 

Here are a few of the websites we know you can trust: the best of the bunch when it comes to free stock photography:
