Why Upgrade Your Website? There are many reasons to upgrade your website and they range from maintaining your client’s data security to keeping up with web design technology.

There are many actions you can take to prolong the usefulness of your website and protect it for your clients as well. But the main reasons to upgrade fall into these two categories; Security and Technology.

A website displays its content based on the code develop in the background that allows you to see what you see. But some web pages offer features that require embedded links to, local or remote files, that control specialized functions such as; Fonts, animated text, popups, tabbed pages, site navigation, file uploading and many more.

Security - Many websites offer functions designed to attract users, allow file uploading, displaying data or purchasing items using credit cards. These features do their thing because a link is embedded in the background that syncs with their location to provide the responses requested and then displayed to the viewer when they land on that page.

Or, they are supplied by the developer and added to the background by direct code links to a JavaScript folder containing the JavaScript or jQuery's functions.

Hackers search the web looking for these scripts to find holes or vulnerabilities that they can manipulate to do harm to your site and your clients security. Upgrades to these scripts prevent hacking and extend the life of your website and protect client data.

Web Design Technology - As with anything your buy that becomes popular, the manufacturer is compelled to upgrade older models or build new ones with more bells and whistles to keep up with competition. Web design technology is no different.

Technologies like Bootstrap becomes available that can be upgraded easily and either prolong the life of older sites or they obsolete the current design in favor of a more robust feature driven design.

Couple these with Google's mandate that all websites pass their mobile friendliness test and be SSL secure in order to get a page ranking are mandatory.

These design and security features are what keeps you one step ahead of your competition.
