Updating Your Website: The What, When, and Why



Once you have a custom website that looks great and provides a wealth of information about your business, you’re done right?  You can sit back, relax, and let the world enjoy your site.  That may be true for a little while, but the work isn’t over. It’s important to update your custom website on a regular basis. What you should update on your site and when varies for each business, but the why is fairly universal.

When you change the prices of your products and that information is included on your website, you should update the prices right away. If a potential customer sees one price on the website, but is quoted a different price when you meet with them, they will feel mislead. When you get a new line in, you can showcase these products by updating the page with new information as soon as possible. Visitors to the site will feel excited that you keep them in-the-know. If your small business custom website has a staff page and you hire someone new, get their bio on the site as soon as you can. Other updates can include coupons, menu items, new portfolio photos, and new press release information. It’s also a good idea to periodically change up the wording in your content to keep it fresh in the eyes of search engines. A successful website requires some maintenance in the long run to continue to get the best results.

Updating your website is important because it keeps people coming back to see what’s new. Even if they don’t need your services right now, they will be reminded of your business for the near future. Search engines will find the new updates you made to your website and renew the high ranking in results—essential for new customers to find you. As technology and trends change, both the look of your website and the company information can adapt with them, maintaining your credibility and proving your company can grow and change to fit customer needs.
