Summary
How long should a website last? While some major brands rebuild their websites every couple of years, many businesses expect their websites to serve them for much longer. In this episode, Matt and Mike explore what it really means for a website to ”last,” why some sites become outdated while others remain effective for years, and the key factors that drive redesigns, rebuilds, and modernization projects. From branding and user expectations to technical debt, security, SEO, and performance, they break down when it’s time to replace a website - and when it’s better to keep improving the one you already have.
