small business website

Just like with all technology, websites need to be updated on a regular basis. If you aren’t sure if your site needs a redesign or not, take a look at the questions below. If you answer YES to any of these questions then take two deep breaths and call Dr. Sumy first thing in the morning. We specialize in healing bad websites.

  • Does your website have a flash intro? Flash intros were popular a decade ago but today they are annoying and just give potential clients a reason to exit your website before they even look around.
  • website-ugly-help-redesignDo your competitors have a better website? Well then, don’t delay contact us immediately.
  • Are animated gifs, scrolling text or a blinking logo the center of attention on your website? While festive, any and all of these elements scream unprofessional and are distracting.
  • Do the Google Gods shun your website? Search engine optimization might be the cure for that.
  • Does your website play music as a client enters your site? Everyone has different tastes, so if you must have music give the reader a button to push AFTER landing on your site if they prefer music while browsing.
  • Does your website look like scattered puzzle pieces on smartphones and tablets? Having a responsive design will help put those pieces back together.
  • Do potential customers have to navigate through a maze of pages before they can find your contact information? Not having your contact information easy to find if one of the biggest mistakes you can make.
  • Did you opt out of having a contact phone number on your website? It’s hard to believe but there are still some people out there who prefer voice contact to emails. So, unless you are one of the Electronic Overlords at Amazon then you need a contact phone number on your website. (But in case you are looking for Amazon’s customer service number, it is: (888) 280-3321. You’re welcome.)
  • Is your website just plain ugly? Yes, we understand that beauty is in the eye of the beholder – but have an in-depth heart-to-heart with your site about its appearance.

If you’ve answered yes to any of these questions then contact Sumy Designs today. We will review your current site and give you honest feedback that will help improve your website and increase your site’s traffic.
