Our Top Tip
It is important with any website to keep it relevant, current and fresh. Stale, out of date content or design is likely to be more damaging than having no site at all. So don’t think once you have a site that it is fine to leave it without regular updates. We would suggest a major change at least once every 12 months. Remember, if you don’t do it, your competition will!
