How often should a website be updated?
A website should be checked monthly for outdated details and changed immediately whenever something real changes: prices, hours, team, offers. A fixed ten-minute slot once a month covers most websites — a regular short look matters more than a big redesign.

The rhythm that works
Not everything needs the same pace. Treating every page the same either wastes time on things that rarely change or leaves the important ones too long between looks. This split has proven itself in practice:
- Monthly: homepage, opening hours, prices, current offers
- Every quarter: team page, references, service pages
- Yearly: copyright years, legal pages, privacy policy, footer
- Immediately: anything that has just changed in reality
Why big redesigns don't help
A redesign every three years costs a lot and doesn't solve the problem: content keeps aging between redesigns just the same. Ten minutes a month beats three weeks every three years, because it catches small drift before visitors do.
The habit matters more than the tool. A calendar reminder with a short checklist beats an expensive system that nobody opens.
Häufige Fragen
- Is it enough to check only the homepage?
- No. Most outdated details sit in the footer, on inner pages and in old posts, not on the homepage.
- What if nothing has changed?
- Then change nothing. Updating a date without checking the content helps no one.
- Who should be in charge of the monthly check?
- One named person with a fixed reminder. A whole team without one usually means no one does it.
