Website redesign

Q: What is a website redesign?

Put simply, features of a website become old and outdated over time. From the design to the coding, it’s necessary to refresh and update everything with a redesign. It’s not just the look and feel of the website that gets modernised, but also the user experience that can lead to more traffic, more browsing time, increased leads, and an improved conversion rate.

Q: How often should I redesign my website?

Most web experts agree that it’s best to use a website redesign service roughly every three years in order to keep up with industry trends and customer expectations. If you’ve noticed a change in your website statistics over the last few years, for example, if visits and clicks are down, then a website overhaul is a good idea to help your site get up-to-date and profitable once again. Fortunately, regular website updates are part of the IONOS My Website Design Service, so your site will rarely need a large-scale redesign.

Q: What's the difference between a website redesign and a website refresh?

The difference between a website redesign and a refresh mostly comes down to how many changes are being made and the scale of them. A redesign means that the coding and the look of the site will be a major transformation. If your site is being rebranded, then the pages are usually reconstructed to integrate new components, functionality, and even an updated CMS (content management system). A refresh, on the other hand, often means minor edits such as new images, colour scheme, typography, and smaller UX changes to the page template. Both of these options are still part of the IONOS website redesign service and will make a positive impact on the user experience of your customers.

When and why a web redesign service is necessary

Impress new visitors by updating your website

From cars and homes to even our hairstyles, it never hurts to give something an update. A website redesign is essential for a variety of reasons and is one of the best ways to improve your brand image and user experience. The website redesign service from IONOS is there to boost your site and ensure that it looks and runs better than ever.

So, why and when is a website revision important?

Outdated and non-responsive websites

Like many things in life, website designs can definitely appear out-of-date and not meet the current expectations of the typical user. Another thing to take into consideration is users now browse websites and social media platforms on many different types of devices, including laptops, desktop computers, tablets, and smartphones. It’s therefore important to make sure your website is responsive, looks great and performs well on any device.

A low or decreasing search engine ranking

While it’s true that Google’s algorithm changes can impact your website’s search engine rankings, it can also be because of broken site links, bad security, server issues, poor site navigation, duplicate content, and even competition from other websites. A web redesign service helps fix these issues and breathe new life into an older website.

Slow loading times and high bounce rates

Nowadays, page speed doesn’t just negatively impact rankings, but the overall UX (user experience) as well. Bounce rates are high when a website doesn’t load as quickly as the user would like, with some reports suggesting that if a site doesn’t load content after three seconds, then the user will go elsewhere.

Hitting the wrong crowd and disappearing leads

If your current web design isn’t reaching your target market and you are getting visits but no clicks or purchases for an online shop, then the website redesign service may well be the answer. It can be frustrating for a site owner to have visits not turn into something meaningful, but a new strategy for your web design can help to alleviate these problems.

Your business is growing and the brand image is being revamped

It can often happen that a business grows quicker than expected, in which case an older website layout won't be good enough to handle the increase in traffic. Revamping your brand needs to coincide with a website overhaul, but if you don’t know where to start, the experts at IONOS have the skills and know-how needed to successfully redesign your site.

Your current web design is too time-consuming and cumbersome

Any business owner knows that time is money. This means a site design that makes it difficult to upload content will end up costing you time that could be spent elsewhere. A new design with updated fonts, colours, and images will make things easier and in the end will benefit you and your visitors.
