How often do you revamp your site? Have you ever changed from a forum into a blog or added a blog? What big things have you done with your site?

I want to add a blog to my crafting forum, but seriously, I don't want to do the work.

I am in the middle of building a blog but it is taking longer due to work related business. I will get there sooner or later

I stopped because members complain for any change I make. The only changes I made is allowing people to register via Twitter and Facebook because Zoomers dont use emails anymore. If email is the only way to register on my site, I will only have Moms and dads.

In terms of huge revamps, I avoid that because the last thing you want to do is to push users away from your site if they feel it's a bit too different. But I like doing little changes here and there like bringing in new changes or updating the style slightly

I think once a year or once every 3 year is a good thing unless you are busy or something like that. Doing too much update can be bad too.

The last time I researched the average life of a website, I found that the average website only lasted about 7 years without a major update due to technology changes.

This time, I found the following quote:
2 years 7 months
The average website lifespan is 2 years 7 months. Actually it was 2.66 years which is 2 years, 6 months and 27 days, but close enough.

The number one reason older websites fail is how technology changes affect your search engine results. Older sites tend to drop out of top search engine results. You don't show up in search engine results you no longer have visitors and the site dies because it is no longer relevant.

I also found several useful sites that explain why you need updates and what to look for when making needed changes.

Hope some of these links can help you find what you need to stay current.

So get busy and get updated. Do it right by making sure you have not only updated to the latest technology, but that you also make certain you comply with various government rules and regulations if you want your site to show up in search engine results in those countries.

I just blocked the word Gummy from my site because the spammers targeting me are selling keto marijuana gummies. Those gummy spammers had been a pain in the butt.

I feel revamping on a regular basis would not be an easy thing one has to work on how the things are going to be in near future as well. Its kind of like adjusting to trend too.

Revamping a site is good at least you would be adding new features to the site for the delight of the users. But it should be once in a long while to help keep the users.
