Nowadays you can get Botox in your lunch hour. If only giving your website a facelift was that easy… In today’s digital world, competition is fierce. Websites are no longer just crucial tools to ecommerce companies – they are cornerstone for most businesses regardless of industry or function. In order to maintain a competitive edge in the market, it is therefore important to keep your website design fresh, current and well marketed.
There is not a lot of point in investing in a web designer if you don’t have an online presence. This refers to how visible you are to your target market – you can’t make money unless customers spend and they won’t spend, if they don’t even know you exist. So, if you are not ranking very high on search engine results, this would be a good indication that your website needs a facelift – from an SEO expert.
On the hot topic of SEO, Google’s updates mean that their algorithms are becoming increasingly sophisticated. For some this means that their once top ranked website has drastically declined in its position. If you have felt the wrath of Google’s Panda’s and Penguins, your website definitely needs a facelift.

In fact, in the hands of the right professional who practices ethical techniques and understands the intricacies, your website will not only rank high in search engine results but not become obsolete every time there is an update.

If your website suffers a high bounce rate, it is definitely revaluating the usability of the site so that you can encourage users to stay for longer and thereby increasing the chances of them spending money.
