It's a new year!!! What now?

The new year is upon us and now it's time to make some decisions for your organization. You've already forecasted your upcoming year but did you remember your website? Anymore, it's not just enough to build a website. It's got to stay fresh in the minds of your donors. How about a redesign? I'm not saying you have to redesign it every year but you should consider giving it a face lift every couple of years. Technology changes from year to year so you want to be sure that your website is up to it's top potential. So how do you know if you need a redesign? Definitely look at how long it has been. If it's been two or three years, consider it. If you are using a content management system like Joomla or Wordpress, this is even easier than you know. There are so many fantastic templates out there that have been designed for these CMS you can easily purchase one and use it. In some cases, you may need some assistance from a designer/developer to maybe make sure it's loaded correctly and all the features are up-to-date. A good designer can also take a template you purchased and make modifications to match your brand a bit better. Just consult with your favorite designer for options on this.
