While a sleek website design feels like it should last forever, everything becomes obsolete eventually. While there is no hard rule for how often you should redesign a website, it is suggested that you redesign it every 2-4 years. This depends on your budget and if your design depends on popular themes that will lose relevance more quickly than others.
Outdated Design
Eventually, your design may become outdated or clunky as systems such as HTML and PHP versions update. Some features may also look old as new design trends emerge. Older designs may not be responsive to new technology. Mobile phones, for example, were not accounted for on websites designed before their existence.
Improvements
When creating your website, it’s possible that the initial goal was to have something simple that works. After that, you may want to make a better visual design rather than focusing solely on function.
