Website Redesign: How to Know When Your Business Needs a Refresh
In 2024, effective project management is an essential part of successful business operations. WebMedia not only offers the creation, promotion, and optimization of websites but also supports their ongoing development. Here’s how to recognize when your business might need a website redesign and how to choose the right project management system.
When Is a Redesign Needed?
A website redesign is a significant step for any business. Always start with the question, "Why?" As Tim Brown noted, the need for a redesign is determined by how well something meets its purpose.
1. Site Not Adapted for Android and iOS
If your site doesn't display correctly on smartphones, it degrades user experience and SEO. Responsive design is essential for all websites to rank in the top 10 of search engines.
2. Poor Usability
Analyze user behavior using Google Analytics and Yandex Metrica. High bounce rates and low conversion rates can indicate navigation issues. Check if it’s easy to make purchases on competitor sites and compare them to yours.
3. Outdated Design
If your design hasn’t been updated in over five years, it’s outdated. Trends change yearly, and it’s important to keep your site looking modern.
4. New Functionality Added
Modern users expect features like credit payment options, personalized recommendations, smart search, and more. Lack of these features can drive customers to competitors.
5. Slow Loading and SEO Issues
If your SEO efforts are not yielding results, the issues might lie in the site’s architecture or loading times. These problems should be addressed during a redesign.
6. Brand Guidelines Changed
Changes in logo, colors, fonts, and positioning should be reflected on the website to maintain a cohesive brand image.
Redesign Stages
A redesign goes through the following stages:
- Pre-project analysis
- Design and planning
- Coding and development
- Content update
- Release
- Testing at each stage
The cost and timeline of a redesign depend on the scope of work. Visual updates may be cheaper than a full redesign.
Mini-Test: Does Your Site Need an Update?
If you answer "yes" to three or more of these points, consider a redesign:
- Site not adapted for Android and iOS.
- Not updated in over a year on CMS.
- Not updated in over three years on a framework.
- Outdated design.
- Difficult to find information.
- Outdated content.
- Lacks popular functionality.
- No automation integrations.
- Slow loading times.
- Poor conversion and search engine indexing.

Native vs. Cross-Platform Development: What to Choose?
In 2025, mobile apps remain a critical tool for businesses: 57% of internet traffic is generated through them, and mobile market revenues have surpassed $500 billion. However, the choice between native and cross-platform development has become more complex due to advancements in technology and the emergence of new frameworks. For instance, Kotlin Multiplatform Mobile (KMM) and Flutter 4.0 have narrowed the performance gap between the two approaches, while AR/VR and AI integration have become standard for many apps. The goal of this article is to help businesses consider key factors and choose the optimal development path.

How AI is Changing the Game in Real Estate Valuation
Have you ever wondered why apartment prices can jump sharply within a month? Why does one house sell for millions while the neighboring one costs a fraction of that? Real estate valuation used to be simple: you’d look at the area, the floor, the neighborhood, and the condition of the property to set the price. But here’s the problem: this method is inaccurate. It doesn’t account for hundreds of factors that truly affect a property’s value.
