Web Design Tips: Use Red For Slow Load Times

It takes ITD Interactive just one-week to design, build and launch your new website. See below for information. Here is data we found from other sources for comparison:

Here is a smattering of the actual phrases pulled from those results:
- “depends”
- “3-4 months”
- “20 hours IF“
- “8-12 weeks with good client cooperation“

UPDATED: This post gets a LOT of traffic lately and we wanted to update a few things to provide the most relevant and helpful information possible.
The short answer is “as often as there is anything worth updating!” The problem we run into, however, is deciding what is worth updating.

You really should make a point to update something on your website at least once a week. Let’s review a few reasons why, and some suggestions of WHAT to update. (more…)
