2. WordPress is simple to use.
3. WordPress is flexible enough to accommodate all needs through its extensions and plugins

5. Its search engine friendly. Popular search engines, like Google and Bing, tend to rank websites that use WordPress higher than those that don’t. This is because the CMS’ framework makes it easy for the search engines’ spiders to crawl. 
6. Its secure and safe. Another reason why WordPress is so beloved is the security measures the developers take to preserve the trust of its users.
7. WordPress keeps improving. Thanks to its open source coding and innovative developers, WordPress keeps improving as the years go by.
8. You can make your WordPress theme look any way you want with a customized theme.  (This is our specialty)

11. Integration. WordPress integrates with many popular 3rd-party platforms to make your website more modern. There are plenty of plugins that let you easily send out email campaigns and newsletters.
12. WordPress is integrated with an automatic updater for security purposes. The CMS also notifies you when new updates are available for plug-ins. 
13. Social Media Integration. People can easily post comments on your site using their own social network accounts.

The post Why Use WordPress? appeared first on Miller Media, Digital Marketing Agency, PPC, Industrial Web Design, WordPress.

• Has the main message of my business evolved?
• Has my content strategy changed? (I’m now doing more publishing, events, promotions, etc.)
• Has my industry evolved? Are people in my business talking about things differently these days?
• Am I in a design- or technology-related industry? Times change faster for these businesses
• Is my site keeping up with design trends? Modern sites tend to be streamlined into a single column layout. They present less information at each scroll depth, with larger images that often fill the screen. The trend is toward more video and more prominent calls to action.
• Does my site look great on phones and tablets? If your last redesign was 6 years ago, it’s possible that most of your visitors are using completely different devices today
• Is my site hard to update? Content management systems have improved. We should have higher expectations for easy updates. These days, it should be fast, free and easy to make most changes to the content on our websites.
• Have my rankings and search traffic declined? Unless you are actively promoting your website, rankings tend to decline over time. A redesign can reverse the trend of declining search traffic through a new keyphrase-focused sitemap, with new pages targeting new phrases.
• Is my conversion rate declining? Visitors’ expectations keep increasing, so unless your website keeps improving, conversion rates tend to decline. A redesign can reverse the aging process through a new, conversion optimized design that exceeds visitors expectations.
• Have my competitors recently redesigned? This is the big question: What are your competitors doing? Let’s take a look…

Age is relative …to your competitors

Try this: pretend you are a potential lead or customer. Search for your product or services. 

Seriously, go take a look! What did you see?

• Who is ranking?
• Are their sites newer than yours?

Your potential customers see those rankings and those websites many times every day. While you are reading this, at this very moment, someone is looking at those search results and those websites.  Old and new in that context. It’s all relative.

The post When should I update my website? appeared first on Miller Media, Digital Marketing Agency, PPC, Industrial Web Design, WordPress.

Here are are some key elements you can utilize:

1. Excellent Navigation
2. Roadmap thru the website or breadcrumb trail
3. Clear Benefits to working with you vs. competition
4. Faster Load Time
5. Complete Contact Information
6. Secure Website
7. Useful Content

Figuring out what users want isn’t always easy, but it is worth the effort. What they want may change often so ask your current customers what you’re missing and continue to improve and add to your website over time. If you always seek to put the customer first, they will turn to you over your competitors.
