Sometimes A New Web Design Is The Answer

For some websites, the original web design may have been considered long ago, and the needs of the company and its customers have long since changed. In other cases, the initial web development was poorly thought out and was not as successful as it should have been in meeting the needs of visitors. Problems like these can go unnoticed for quite a long time before being discovered, and some may never come to light. This can have a negative effect on business, so it is worth assessing a website and thinking about making possible changes, or even commissioning a different design, if this will help to fulfil its potential.

Although professional usability testing experts are expensive, it could be worth hiring them in order to test a website, before deciding whether a website redesign is necessary. If money is not available for this, there is always the option of testing the site oneself, and this is not as complicated as it might seem. The US usability guru, Steve Krug, maintains that even testing a site with just one person is better than not testing at all. Ideally, sites should be tested very early on in the development process, but if this has never happened, it is better done later than never. If the design is found to be problematic for visitors then a new version that is more user-friendly might show a substantial increase in traffic and sales.
