Website Refresh vs Redesign: When to Walk Away from Your Website
You know, freshening up your website is a lot like renovating a house.
Sometimes, a fresh coat of paint is all you need, but other times, you've got to rip out a wall and burn all the furniture.
We’ve all had those moments at the end of a long weekend with the kids cooped up inside, when we look around our house and think “it would honestly be easier to burn this thing down than to clean it.”
Aaaand we end up cleaning it because somehow it seems more fun than going to jail for arson…
Arson and kid tornadoes aside, when it comes to your website sometimes starting over is the best option.
But how do you KNOW which path to take?!?
In this episode, my chief wearer of many hats, Stacy and I will guide you through the decision making process so you know if you need to update, re-template or just start over fresh.
In today's episode, we're diving deep into the age-old question, "Should I refresh my website or completely redo it?"
You know, it's a lot like renovating a house. Sometimes, a fresh coat of paint is all you need, but other times, you've got to rip out a wall and burn all the furniture.
We’ve all had those moments at the end of a long weekend with the kids cooped up inside, when we look around our house and think “it would honestly be easier to burn this thing down than to clean it.”
And because we don’t want to go to jail for arson we clean it…
Good news is though rebuilding your website is not nearly as hard as building a new house. And sometimes starting over is the best option.
In this episode, I’ve paired up with my chief wearer of many hats, Stacy. We'll be your digital contractors, guiding you through the decision making process.
We’ll explore the signs that tell you it's time for an update and when you need a full-blown overhaul. We'll discuss everything from how to handle small cosmetic fixes, like rearranging the furniture in your online home, to the telltale signs that your website might have sprung a few leaks or even time-traveled from the '90s.
Let's get to business!
