It’s vital to upgrade or redesign your website every once in a while. After all, it’s your virtual storefront. You want it to look current and attractive to impress your prospective customers.

The redesign will have to be planned well if you want it to be effective. At Alco Web Design, LLC, we suggest you consider the points listed below. 

Mobile Compatibility -That’s the first thing you need to focus on. If your website is very old, it might not load easily or well on mobile devices. There are many online tools that allow you to check your website’s mobile compatibility. You should look at the results of the analysis carefully and take note of the problems. Modern websites need to be responsive. These websites can scale easy to any screen size and won’t compromise the design or content. 

User Experience-User experience is one of the most important factors in website design. After all, if your visitors have a bad experience on your website, they won’t return. They might even leave behind a review with details about their bad experience, which will discourage other prospects. Your website should be easy to navigate, well-structured, and informative. You need to make user experience your goal during the redesign process and ask your designer to create a streamlined portal for your business. 

Design -Looks matter in website design. Outdated designs often lead to high bounce rates and low conversions. If your website looks like it belongs on a Windows 98 OS browser, you need to immediately get it redesigned. Here are a few things you should keep in mind:

• The design should be current and fresh
• It should represent your brand and company message well
• The site should appeal to your target audience and visitors
• The screen shouldn’t be too crowded with content or clickable links. Clickable elements on the page should have enough white space to accommodate touch screens 

During the redesign process, you should make sure your website lives up to modern design standards. You should also make sure that your website is search engine friendly and quick to load on all kinds of platforms.
