1. Increase Your Customer Base
   Websites that are not mobile-friendly do not rank well in Google, if they even rank at all.  If you still don’t have a mobile-responsive web design, you’re losing a huge customer base. According to a 2017 Bigcommerce survey of store owners, 88% reported mobile-responsive design as a key factor in their plans for growth.
2. Improve Your SEO Ranking
   Design has proved to be a considerable factor in search ranking.  Outdated, non-responsive stores are penalized by search engines.  The faster, prettier, and more efficient your site is, the happier your customers are, which drives conversions. 46% of store owners surveyed agree, and cite SEO as a potential revenue booster this year.
   
   
3. Boost Your Credibility
   75% of online shoppers judge your credibility based solely on your site design.  Online shoppers are savvy; If you have a website that looks like it was designed in the late 90s, they’re no longer going to be convinced that you are their best option for what they’re looking for and off they go to your competitor.
4. Dominance Over Your Market
   78% of online businesses are predicting that integration with mobile wallet technology such as Apple Pay, Samsung Pay & Amazon Pay will drive growth. Old outdated sites are not compatible with new payment technology, causing a loss of potential revenue. A fresh design can integrate with these new technologies and showcase the benefits of making it easier to pay.
5. Accurate Representation of Your Current Business Needs
   51% of businesses surveyed believe that social advertising will be a primary factor for growth.  The buying public is more socially connected than ever, utilizing Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Pinterest, and more to search for and share products.  An updated  design will allow you to stay more closely connected with your audience.

Overall, it’s important to remember that the appearance of your website is directly proportional to its success.  Contact Ventura Web Design & Marketing today to get started on your redesign process as soon as possible.
