How Often Should You Update Your Business Website?
Owen Landis
Founder & Lead Designer
A common misconception is that completing a website finishes the project permanently.
In practice, browser standards evolve, security requirements update, and search engines favor websites that maintain active, current information.
Suggested Maintenance Schedule
- Monthly: Add recent project photos, new customer testimonials, or seasonal updates.
- Quarterly: Test contact forms, inspect page load speeds on mobile, and review search visibility.
- Every 2 to 3 Years: Perform a full design and technical refresh to maintain modern performance standards and responsive layouts.
