Website redevlopment – sharpen your saw

The renowned business guru Stephen Covey used to tell a story about a man in the woods who had been working hard for hours sawing down a tree.  A passerby noticed how exhausted the woodsman was and suggested that the he took a break to sharpen his saw…this way he could cut the tree down more quickly.  But the woodsman replied, “I don’t have time to sharpen the saw. Don’t you see I’m too busy?”

In many ways your website can be a bit like this.

Like it or not web technology and visual fashions both drive change at an alarming rate.  One moment its cool to have a sort of all-on-one-page portal type look, then the next moment it’s all open and airy and minimalist instead.  Technology also drives change.  New browsers and the move to mobile devices are just two examples of how technology also drives change.  Both of these affect what people expect what they arrive at your site.

Worse still when a key tech giant like Google decide to start penalising non mobile friendly pages by lowering their ranking in the search engine results.  This is happening now.

Unless you make the time to keep your site up to date visually and technically with a regular website redevelopment, you’ll soon fall behind.  Your prospective customers are more web savvy now than they have ever been before.  Every day they are using leading edge sites from some of the biggest corporates in the world.  This sets their expectation and they will judge you.
