Does your website need a facelift? Has it been a while since any new content has been added or existing content updated? Maybe you're just not getting the visitors to the site that you used to. Have you had some new ideas running around in your head but just haven't quite solidified them into a plan yet.  

Put some new eyes on your website. Get feedback from your customers (yes, your customers), your friends, your family. Got kids? They're pretty internet savvy. Send them to your website and see what they say about it.  

Check your competitors' websites. What do they have that you don't?  

Have a discussion with your web designer and put together a plan for improvement.
