Have you ever considered having your website re-designed? Are you aware of the many benefits that having your website re-designed can bring? I have recently given my eight year website a makeover and have been amazed by the results. I will explain more in this article.
My main website was designed and built in the late nineties and I was very pleased with how the site looked etc. I have worked very hard in the interim period to build up the number of backward links pointing to the site. I am proud to say that I have links from page rank seven, page rank six and page rank five sites plus many more links from the lower scale. This has helped me to reach healthy positions in the search engines for all of my main key word phrases.
Attracting visitors to the site is not a problem for me but I then wanted something else. I now wanted these people to stay for longer periods and to read more of the pages from the site. I am able to read the stats and even though the results were not exactly poor, they could have certainly been better.
The website is a health therapy site as I specialise in helping people to overcome a speech impediment called stuttering. Around six months ago I had an email from somebody who asked me if I was still offering the service. I emailed back stating that I was and he replied by saying that the he had visited the site three years ago and that it had not changed in that time, therefore he was not sure etc.
This was quite a shock for me and made me wonder if other people had had the same types of thoughts.
I decided to learn from this and then went about re-designing the site. Since the re-design the stats have become a whole lot more impressive and the amount of enquiries has gone through the roof.
The site has even improved in rank on the major search engines possibly because they reward sites that do not just appear to be stale.
