“Your website is the center of your digital eco-system, like a brick and mortar location, the experience matters once a customer enters, just as much as the perception they have of you before they walk through the door.”―Leland Dieno
If you choose to go through this blog post that is because you probably are pondering over this if you should really get your site revamped.

In most cases, websites are deemed effective for a time span of about 18 to 30 months. However, market requirements and business goals also play a huge rule in deciding when and how often you should go for the change.
