If you don’t update your website’s look and feel every 18 months you risk being taken for an amateur. Increasingly web-savvy guests to your site will compare their experience on your site with the hundreds of others they visit — if you don’t meet the standards they have come to expect then they are much more likely to click away from you. Very quickly.
