I selected this article from Curatti written by Avinash Nair
 because it provides the latest information to bring your website up to date.

Three ways you can improve your website design

Top Reasons to Update a Website

Every second a new website is born on the Internet. I agree that knowing what needs to be fixed is the first step to rebuilding a presence that your visitors will love.

Nair goes over the what to look for when assessing your business's most important online real estate.

Here's what caught my attention:

• If your traffic is declining this could be due to an outdated design. If it was created years ago it can appear to be sloppy and won't get the attention it deserves.

• We are well into the mobile purchase age, and this means all websites should be responsive or fall behind. It's important to be recognized on all devices.

• The general rule of thumb is for a website to load in two seconds or less. Anything longer than this can turn a visitor away quickly. One of the top culprits are images that are not optimized properly.

I selected this article from Curatti written by Jacob Smart because he explains how your website needs to be prepared for a mobile-first digital market.

Businesses need to understand the elements of mobile friendly and mobile SEO in order to be successful.

How to Understand Mobile Purchasing Methods

Your business can achieve improved conversion rates with the application of best practices for mobile usage. I agree that knowing how this is done today can help you get seen.

Smart explains how to maximize your website for better results.

Here's what caught my attention:

• A mobile-friendly website means the user's journey is both smooth and efficient. This includes having a responsive design and content that is easily viewable on all platforms.

• A mobile-seo website goes beyond a responsive design, and includes search engine optimization for higher visibility in search. This involves keyword usage, a mobile sitemap, mobile indexing, and more.

• Making sure your website readily adapts to any device is important to both mobile-friendly and mobile-seo. Not only should it be responsive, but should also be set up as a dynamic URL with different code for mobile devices.
