#2. Your Current Technology is Out-dated<\/h3>\n
Your website might not be performing as great as it used to five years back. The reason behind it is the technology used to develop your website. It’s outdated! With the fast-paced environment, new and better technologies are introduced that has set new standards. And the outdated one is no match with it. So, in order to provide the best user experience and stay ahead in the competition, you must upgrade to the new technology.<\/p>\n
#3. Your Design Seems Primitive<\/h3>\n
Just like the technology, even designs are evolving continuously for better user experience. Web developers and designers are coming up with innovative and interactive designs to appeal the users. In fact, every year we can observe new web design trends<\/a> that make the web world more engaging and beautiful. Just compare a present-day website with a website designed a few years back. You\u2019ll notice a huge difference. The designs are worlds apart and so is the user experience. If your website has been designed a few years ago and seems to be primitive, it\u2019s time to redesign the website.<\/p>\n
#4. Your Website Doesn\u2019t Have an SSL (Secured Sockets Layer) Certificate<\/h3>\n
If you are a technophile, you might be familiar with the term \u201cSSL Certificate\u201d. Even if you are not into technology, I bet you would have noticed some websites\u2019 URL contains \u201cHTTP\u201d while some have \u201cHTTPS\u201d. The later ones are SSL certified and are displayed in green with a padlock in the address bar of the browsers.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\nNow you might be wondering, \u201cBut what it has to do with my website?\u201d<\/p>\n
If your website does not have an SSL certificate, the data transferred over is not secure and is prone to be misused. But websites with SSL certificate securely transfers the data by encrypting it. Not only that, it can even help you to improve your ranking on the search engine!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n#5. Changes in Business and Brand<\/h3>\n
Your website is your business\u2019s digital identity. If there are any changes in your business, whether it has grown from a start-up by a bunch of like-minded people to a well-established company or changes in the logo and branding, it should be depicted in your website too. A contradiction in your business or brand and your website can affect your image. And you may end up losing credibility among visitors. So, if you were busy developing your business and had no time to update your website alongside, now it\u2019s the time to do it.<\/p>\n
#6. Your Website is Sluggish<\/h3>\n
With the increasing standard of the technology and higher bandwidth, user\u2019s patience has been diminishing. If your website is not fast enough, users will abandon it in no time affecting your bounce back ratio.\u00a0Stats show<\/a>, 40% of people abandon a website that takes more than 3 seconds to load. In fact, 47% of consumers expect a web page to load in 2 seconds or less. And if you have an e-commerce website the gravity of the load time is even more. If an e-commerce site is making $100,000 per day, a 1-second page delay could potentially cost $2.5 million in lost sales every year.<\/p>\n
Likewise, mobile web page speed is equally important. Web development companies<\/a> are working to provide a superior user experience on mobile devices just like a desktop website. Even Google has announced \u2018mobile first index\u2019 which would determine the ranking of a website based on the speed and user experience. So, be it desktop or mobile, if your website is taking time to load it needs a makeover.<\/p>\n
