To Do In 2020:
Modernize Your Website
Every time you turn around, there’s a new digital product or advancement on the internet. It can be overwhelming to keep up, but while trends come and go, one thing is certain…
Your website is your brand’s true home in this digital world, and thus should be updated often.
Promoting you online 24/7, your website is the heartbeat of your business. If done correctly, it establishes your credibility, communicates your story, and builds a connection with consumers. Your website allows the sales process to take shape.
According to the eCommerce Foundation, 88% of consumers will research company/product information before making a purchase online or in the store. No matter how much time, resources, and energy you place on social media, email campaigns, and other forms of marketing, your website is the final destination for consumers. With so many brands and businesses vying for customer attention, your site must be relevant and correspond with current design trends, technological advancements and search engine algorithms. It has to appeal to a modern audience that continues to grow more savvy and discerning.
Your website has the power to be the beginning and end of your relationship with potential customers.

All brands need
a refresh.
As your “public face” 24/7 in the digital world, your website should feel modern, fresh and clean versus stale and outdated. A 90’s looking website will look irrelevant in 2020 and could negatively impact your ability to connect with your audience.
A polished, fresh new look can create a lasting impression. It’s amazing how modernizing visuals, design elements, and content will breathe life into your business and appeal to a more savvy audience.

If you build it (RIGHT!), they will come.
Over 40,000 Google searches are submitted every second, which means that having a strong search presence is key for your brand.
Review how Search Engine Optimization (SEO)-friendly your website is, and how easy it is for people to find you.
The good news is that you have control over how search engines view your website. By analyzing your content and restructuring it to speak to your target market you’re strengthening your chance to reach new customers.

They have come,
so now what?
Test your pages to see how easily users interact with your site. In refreshing your design with things such as highly specific category content, you’re allowing your audience to interact with the comfortability they have come to expect.

Customers
demand speed.
As people’s attention span gets shorter, so does their patience, and nothing is more annoying for an internet user than waiting for a website to load. Users want what they want when they want it, so if your page (along with images, graphics, videos, etc.) takes too long, they may exit quickly.
Modernizing your site with more updated code, optimization, and tools that have kept pace with the ever-changing digital environment will allow it to run faster and better, thus not alienating any potential customers.
5
Mobile-friendly
is a must.
If a user has gone on your site via Facebook or Instagram, there is a high probability that this first interaction is going to be on a mobile device. It is a wasted opportunity should you have a poorly performing mobile site.
If you want to be credible, memorable and useful in the digital space, it has become a requirement to invest in responsive mobile design.
