Does your website need a Redesign?

shaelheart · 02-10-2009, 05:25 AM

When do you decide to redesign your website? what are the factors that compel you to make the decision to redesign your site? please share your thoughts about it.

if a site was on the "i'll fix it up later" list and it's the ugliest one on that list, then it is usually up next for a redesign after all my other more pressing obligations are met. i normally make a site with a "good enough" design and get around to perfecting it at a later date.

when your using a design from the begining of the internet then... you need to redesign

When it looks like outdated.

I would say that every five to ten years it would probably be best to change the website design, because by that time there is something new to add to your website to make it up to date, and changing the website design usually allows you to incorporate the changes or additions.

"When it looks like outdated."

Bingo.

Gotta stay current. When you redesign you really should think of how to make your website timeless (that doesn't mean it has to be boring or bland) but it does mean not overdoing it with the "latest trends" which are giveaways your site is old:

eg. web 2.0 stripes & badges, wood backgrounds, etc.

You could do like an poll to see what your readers think.

Maybe that could drive your decision.

when the design and colors start to become stale, or old. perhaps the style is no longer used, and outdated. maybe the details are no longer unique and have been reproduced on many other websites. all these factors contribute to figuring out when to redesign in my opinion.

Hi, there are many reasons for website redesign. We cannot say specific reasons. It depends on type of business and need.

I guess the following reasons..
1. your website is not well designed OR you don't like the current look of ur site.
2. your current website is not meeting ur goal.
3. you want to add more things
4. you want to remove some things And etc.

Thanks!

A design should be redesign when it is old and it doesn't meet your goal.
