Web site redesign is a process that every one who has a web site will have to do sooner or later. Changing up the style and pictures on your web site will attract more visitors and help keep it up to date. Setting up goals is a good way to help figure out what you want and being aware of what your competitor looks like. Getting feedback from your customers will help you know what they are looking for so you can better fit their needs. Make sure that your standards are the correct ones based on the business you have because the standards vary. Set up a budget and stick to it along with getting a lot of professionals to help get the site up and running again. Finally, testing your redesign before you make it live is a good way to make sure everything is working correctly so that your users are not unsatisfied.

Web site design isn’t a once-and-done phenomenon. However, a lot of small business owners simply don’t have the disposable cash to put a web developer on their payroll. In the startup phase, you might not even have the money on hand to pay for web development at all. We’ve all been there as small business owners. Sometimes, you just have to roll up your sleeves and do it yourself.

At the same time, you may not be able to devote much of your time to maintaining and updating your web site, either. Here are a few things you can do for 15 minutes per week. Put a weekly reminder in your Outlook or your tickler file to cover these minimal essentials.

1. Re-read your web site copy. Is it still accurate?

2. Jot down a few brainstorms about ways you might improve your site quickly.
