Think about the last time you redesigned your website

It is important for you to think about. When was the last time you updated your website?

A few parts of your website are failing to perform

There might be some links that are not working, so it is important to keep on analysing your website on timely basis to make sure that it is working properly.

Are you popular on Search Engines?

Search engines like Google, Yahoo like websites that are coded properly, are not having heavy images to load and the content on these websites is changing continuously. You can always help your website for keeping your website up to date yourself. Make sure that your website has been coded correctly, you are not using any flash on your website, and you are continuously updating your website in terms of SEO requirements.

If the footer on your website has a copyright year of 2012 then it means that you have not updated your website from the past 48 months. Your website will be considered as pretty stale at that point. If your website is giving that year as 2011 then it is clear that you have forgot your website once it was designed.
