For that reason, they sometimes look in the wrong direction when it becomes obvious changes are needed. To help you avoid the all-too-common mistakes they make, let\u2019s look at three ways to \u201cupgrade\u201d your business website that you should definitely avoid\u2026<\/p>\n

This is particularly popular with the owners of WordPress websites. They figure things aren\u2019t going as well as they could be so the answer must be to add a bunch of new apps and plug-ins that will introduce new marketing features.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
Naturally, there is a place for reviewing apps and plug-ins when upgrading a business website, but there is hardly ever a silver bullet to be found in a new piece of software. Conversely, adding a number of different features all at the same time can slow down your web pages, cause conflicts between the new programs, and even lead to online security concerns. This just isn\u2019t a good way to find the answers you need.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve ever looked at buying a house or used car, you\u2019ve undoubtedly come across something that was freshly painted and priced well above its true value. In other words, you\u2019ve seen something the owner tried to \u201cput some lipstick on\u201d and sell to an unsuspecting buyer.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
These kinds of efforts are usually transparent, and so is the attempt to revitalize a website by changing a few photos or layouts. If buyers aren\u2019t finding you on Google, ignore your online ads, and don\u2019t find your content engaging, then changing just the look of your pages won\u2019t be enough to get new results.<\/p>\n

DIY website templates seem like an easy and inexpensive option for establishing a fresh web presence. In reality, though, they give you the bare minimum in terms of aesthetics while loading you down with lots of unnecessary coding. To put it another way, they combine the worst of the first two bad answers we\u2019ve already covered.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
When you move your content to a fresh DIY website template you will get a new website. What you won\u2019t get, though, is better performance, search visibility, or marketing results. And, you\u2019re likely to lose a lot of the features (and visits) you were enjoying from your older business website. That\u2019s hardly an upgrade.<\/p>\n
