Today let’s go over the factors behind deciding whether your site needs a rebuild or just a refresh. We recently covered this topic in a blog post but let’s expand on this week’s “Trinity Web Minute.”
If you find yourself constantly spending money to improve a WordPress site to further the design or functionality, it may be time for a rebuild. As New Jersey WordPress developers, we find it much more difficult trying to retrofit modern functionality on an older site. So, consider a rebuild if you’re throwing money at your site trying to bring it up to speed.
Here at Trinity Web Media, we are big believers in addition by subtraction. Rather than adding every plugin in the book to modernize your site, let’s find the right solution by eliminating what isn’t working. Addition by addition is a great way to find yourself with an unstable “house of cards” that could break at any moment.
Finally, are you able to make updates to your WordPress core? If you avoid updates afraid of conflicting themes/plugins, a rebuild may be in your near future.
After taking these factors into account, you’ll have a solid grasp on whether it is time to rebuild or refresh.
While I’ve known Greg for years from our time together in the marketing scene, I’ve only recently had the chance to work with Trinity Web Media on a client project. Not only was the team professional and their work spot on, they were amazingly quick to respond and required very little hand-holding along the way. I chalk that up to their past experience and a deep understanding of best-in-class services.
I have hired Greg and the Trinity team multiple times for work on my own websites, and have also hired them to work on behalf of multiple clients. He is simply a pleasure to work with, in every respect. Smart but without the giant ego of some developers, Trinity Web Media works with his clients to achieve their vision in the best way possible — with careful attention to their interests, and thoughtful recommendations based on his expertise. • Susan Baier – Founding Marketing Strategist – Audience Audit
