We often hear clients say, “We need a new website, it’s looking really dated.” This is because their website was built a few years ago and, over time, new web technologies and design trends have left it looking behind the curve. But it doesn’t have to be this way.

Why websites can look dated after a few years

The typical lifespan of a website before it starts looking outdated is about 3 years. This is usually when websites no longer reflect the latest web advancements, from design trends to new technologies and features. The reason for this is that the web is constantly evolving. If your website hasn’t kept up, it can quickly start to look dated in comparison with your competitors.

A refresh doesn't necessarily mean starting over

At WebShed, we believe in evolving your website, not replacing it. Instead of the typical 3-year cycle where a website is completely overhauled, our CMS plugin allows your site to grow and adapt over time. This means you don’t have to "throw away" your website every few years. Instead, it can evolve to keep up with the latest features, design trends, and technologies, saving you time and money on a full-blown refresh.

Why continuous development matters 

• Technology Changes:The web evolves quickly, and staying on top of those changes continuously helps your site stay relevant.
• Navigation and UI: How your website is structured and how users interact with it changes at a rate of knots
• Competitive Edge: Keeping your website updated ensures you remain competitive, without having to invest in a full redesign every few years.

With our CMS platform, you don’t need to start over every 3 years. Your website can evolve constantly, allowing you to stay ahead of your competitors without paying for an entirely new site.
