7 signs that it’s time for a new website redesign
How often should you redesign your website? With a little quick searching, you’ll find that most experts will suggest every 2-3 years. We agree. But with one caveat: you can wait 2-3 years, as long as you update your site a minimum of every 1-2 weeks between full redesigns. Updates might things like upcoming events, announcements, industry tips, social media feeds, blog posts, new photos, etc. It wouldn't take long to generate a list of 25 signs that it's time to update your site, but honestly, who would read that much? So we decided to focus on what we feel are the top 7 signs that it's time to redesign. Here they are: Are you getting leads from your website? Perhaps that’s really the most important question. If you aren’t getting the inquiries, donations or leads you’d like from your website, it’s time to shake things up. Get your site reviewed by a professional. There are probably strategies you could implement to create a clearer call to action, rank better with search engines, make your site easier to navigate and get a better return on your investment. Is your website responsive? In other words, does it automatically adjusts to the screen size of the device it is being viewed on? If not, you may be losing site visitors. Quickly. Viewing old school websites on a mobile device where everything is microscopic is annoying to say the least. And browsing websites on mobile devices is projected to surpass traditional computer viewing in the next year (first they said this, then followed up with this). That’s huge. Be sure your site looks great on a phone, tablet or computer! Is your website content updated? There is no quicker way to communicate to your potential customers or donors that you are off your game than to have a site with outdated info on it. Would you use a brochure that is 10 years old? 5 years? Would you send out a direct mail piece with an event on it that already happened? Of course not. Make sure your website is updated frequently so it’s interesting to site visitors and loved by search engines. Search engines look for new, relevant content that proves you are a legitimate organization. Feed the beast. Is your site easy to maintain? With the flexibility of Content Management Systems (CMS) these days, you can have a customized design that is still so easy to update that your grandma could do it. That means that your team could learn how to keep fresh content on your website with minimal training and no website coding experience. Or you can hire experienced website developers to keep the site updated quickly and inexpensively since it’s easy to do. Hiring a professional will give you an inside track to the latest design trends, content marketing strategies and search engine optimization (SEO) techniques. Is your site using flash, background music, animated clip art or scrolling text? Please say no. If so, please consider removing those items. ASAP. Why? Flash is not visible on most mobile devices, so it’s a no no. Background music is proven to freak people out and cause them to exit your site as soon as they can find the “X” in their window. And animated clip art (gifs) and scrolling messages of text are just so 90’s. They are distracting and cutesy – not sharp and professional. There are other great ways to communicate important messages and draw attention. Let a professional help. Is your site telling your story or just trying to sell something? Consumers are smarter than ever. They can “google” anything, so they feel like experts in nearly any area. The market is saturated with experts. Be more to them. Plus, with the popularity of social media both in personal and professional lives, people have a curiosity about you. They want partners. Trusted resources. They want to know who you are and what your philosophy is, not just what you do. Whether you are a ministry or a manufacturer, you have a story to tell. Who is behind your organization? What do your customers say? Be conversational. Use images. Use video. Write a helpful blog. Post advice to social media. List links that can help your site visitors learn more. Is your competitor’s site better than yours? Even most people who aren’t graphic designers or website developers know a good website when they see it. Is your competitor’s website better?Does it have a sharp, clean design? Is it easy to navigate? Does it have a clear call to action? Does it use professional-quality photos? Does it look awesome on a smart phone? Does it have buttons, photo galleries, videos, social media links? Does it rank above you with search engines?If you like your competitor’s website better than your own, what are your customers thinking? If you would like more details on how to update your website so it generates the leads or sales you dream about, please contact us at New Sky Websites! ...read more

DUCTZ W Milwaukee WI Gives Air Duct Cleaning to Habitat For Humanity
For Ann Arbor-based Ductz International Inc., helping the community and meeting one of its key business needs go hand in hand. This spring, the air-duct cleaning and HVAC restoration franchise company began working with Habitat for Humanity of Huron Valley, making the indoor air cleaner in foreclosed homes being renovated for new homeowners. Ductz uses these homes to help train its 173 franchisees, each of whom undergoes a two-week course at the company's national training center in Ann Arbor. After working on a Habitat home in metro Detroit, many of these franchisees, like Fred Hallett of Milwaukee, continue helping the nonprofit group after they launch their own Ductz businesses in other states. "One of the first things I plan to do is look them up," Hallett said last week while cleaning the ducts in a Habitat home in Ypsilanti. Josh Titler, Ductz's director of business and community development, came up with the idea of partnering with Habitat early this year. "This will spread all across the country," he said. So far, Ductz franchisees have improved the air quality in nine Habitat homes in metro Detroit. Until Ductz came along, Habitat had to spend several hundred dollars to hire someone to clean the air ducts and HVAC systems in its homes. Besides improving air, the cleaning makes furnaces more energy efficient. Before, Ductz used to have to search for houses that it could send its trainees to. Now, they always have a place to hone their new skills. "These homes are wonderful for training," said Tim O'Connor, Ductz's director of franchise operations. ...read more
