Sometimes a website needs a fresh coat of paint, a renovation, or even a new home.

‘Why Do I Need a Website Update Checklist? Can’t My Site Just Look Pretty?’
It’s true that a modernized layout with dramatic product shots can attract more attention. But updating or moving a website isn’t a simple “copy/paste” job, nor is it sufficient to add videos and photo collages and call it a day. This ain’t scrapbooking.
If you execute a redesign, restructuring, or migration poorly, you’ll end up with:
- Site errors
- Visitors leaving in droves
- Poor search engine performance
There are many steps to website upkeep, many of which require an actual web developer (not Linda from Marketing who made the company’s LinkedIn page in 2009). Whether you’re revamping in-house or outsourcing to a website migration service, use this checklist to ensure you’ll launch on time without SEO and user-experience disasters.
