Time for a refresh.

Website refreshes are a cost-effective solution to renew your website, reconnect with patrons, and upgrade your library experience.

What’s a website refresh?

A website refresh updates the front-end elements of your site—like the visual design, page layout, and page elements—without changing back-end systems. It’s a simple, affordable way to give your website a new look and feel and address user experience concerns with:

  • Updated styles and layouts to modernize overall look and feel
  • Refined colors and fonts for improved readability
  • Cleaner page layouts for easier navigation
  • Accessible elements to meet legal requirements and meet all users’ needs
  • Responsive design to create a seamless experience across devices
  • Reimagined page copy, buttons, and other elements for increased user engagement

If your website is a house, think of a website refresh like a fresh coat of paint or a refurnished room!

Why choose a refresh?

Fast

Refreshes can be completed in a fraction of the time of a full rebuild, delivering quicker results without a lengthy development process.

Easy

Because a refresh works with your existing structure, your current content stays in place, minimizing disruptions when design changes are implemented.

Affordable

A refresh delivers meaningful design improvements without a major time or resource committment, making it a smart choice for libraries with limited budgets.

What doesn't a refresh do?

Refreshes focus on front-end improvements while keeping the back-end technology the same. If your site needs to address any of the following issues, you may want to consider a website rebuild instead:
  • Concerns with your site’s platform
  • Outdated or unsupported technology
  • Major content or system changes
  • Security or performance issues
