Reasons To Redesign

1. Your webpage is not mobile-friendly

You can check if your site is mobile-friendly using Google’s mobile-friendly test. If your site is not mobile-friendly, Branding Los Angeles offers a free in-depth diagnostic test that will asses the mobile capabilities of your website.

2. Your site loads slowly

A webpage that does not load quickly, will loose a majority of visitors. Consumers expect your site to be instantly available after clicking. A slow page will cause your site to perform badly and affect your Google ranking.

3. Visitors do not click through the first page

If a majority of visitors leave your site after viewing only one page, they may be unsatisfied with your design. Your bounce rate is the percentage of traffic that leaves your site after viewing only one page. If this percentage is higher than average you may need to think about redesigning the look of your site.
