Web Development
How the right team can keep your website from going dark
How often should I update my website?
Websites can get outdated in a blink of an eye. They constantly need updating, whether it’s an event, product, photo, etc. How often do you buy a new phone or tablet? Websites should be thought about in the same manner as they also age quickly. Depending on the business – an entire website revamp should be done every 2-3 years.
Here at Cape & Plymouth Media we build websites from the ground up, and work on ongoing improvements.
How can I help drive traffic to my website?
We want to get your customers (like drivers) from point A to point B, and point B being your website – every single time. No matter where they end up online, the goal is to funnel them to ONE location! Every single post, every product, every print item – should always have YOUR website URL. Traffic is HEAVY, and we’ve got to weave through. How do we get through all the noise, lights and stops? Put up your signals and let’s go!

Why do I need a professional web designer?
Your website is a direct representation of your brand. If that site is not visually appealing, it is going to be a gut punch to your brand. Studies have shown that it takes someone less than 15 seconds to decide whether they are exploring your site or moving on. An outdated site makes for a poor user experience, and could leave potential customers going elsewhere.
If web design isn’t your specialty, it makes sense to hire a professional web designer. They can help your business run more efficiently, making sure you are utilizing the latest tools, saving you time and money!
A designer can also ensure that your website’s desktop and mobile experience are the utmost user-friendly experience. Remember, those first 15 seconds can make or break your company’s reputation.
