The Problem with Redesigning an Old Site
A redesign may sound like the cheaper option, but older websites often have hidden problems under the hood. They may have been built using outdated methods, making them harder and more expensive to work with. Trying to “retrofit” a modern look and new features into an old site can be like trying to install the latest car engine into a decades-old frame. It is possible, but complicated and costly.
Technical Roadblocks
Over time, websites can accumulate layers of old code, outdated plugins, or clunky layouts that do not meet today’s web standards. If your site was not built to be “responsive,” meaning it can adjust automatically to different screen sizes, it will not display well on modern devices like smartphones and tablets. Fixing these issues in a redesign can be far more time-consuming than starting from scratch.
The Power of Simplicity
A fresh build gives you the chance to keep things clean, streamlined, and easy to navigate. You can focus on what matters most to your customers without carrying over the clutter or limitations of the old site. Simpler design and layout not only look better, but they also make your site faster and easier to use. This can keep visitors engaged and more likely to take action.
A Smart Investment
By starting from the ground up, you are building on a solid, modern foundation that is easier to update, more secure, and ready to grow with your business. In the long run, this can save you both money and frustration while giving your customers the best possible online experience.
