First impressions count, especially in our fast paced world. Keeping your company's website up-to-date is not just a good practice, it ensures you don't get left behind and is a strategic necessity.

1. Save time:

A refresh can be delivered to the market quicker than a full redesign. It requires less effort from your company and your agency. It takes less time because the content will mostly stay the same, you’re focussing on refreshing the visual experience and key areas.

2. Responsive Design for Mobile Optimisation:

Mobile devices continue to dominate internet usage and search engines prioritise mobile-friendly websites. A website refresh provides an opportunity to optimise for mobile responsiveness, ensuring that your site looks and functions seamlessly across various devices. Especially if you are connecting with your audience on social media - if the experience falls short for people, it can leave a dent in your credibility. A mobile-friendly website not only improves user experience but also positively impacts your search engine rankings.

As your company grows and evolves, so should your online presence. A website that accurately reflects your brand identity helps build trust with your audience.
