Are You Ready for a Web Site Makeover?

In the late 1990s, when many of us were just arriving on the Web, there were few templates to create attractive Web sites. We made due with what was available, and that was acceptable for visitors.

Today, there are hundreds, if not thousands of attractive templates available to revamp your site.

I chose a content management system to redo ShirleyFrazier.com, my official site. It's a step above a simple Web site, combining articles, news, a blog, and additional pages for feature content.

Is it time for you to create a new, online space for customers? At first it may seem to be a daunting task. But consider the positives. An update:

1. Revives a drab space, similar to a new coat of paint.
2. Encourages visitors to stay longer to look around to explore.
3. Creates a reason to connect with past and current clients, telling them about the change.

Consider a Web site update. A new exterior will revive your sales and site traffic.
