I wanted to breathe new life in my old website. I thought doing a new Home Page wouldn't take more than an hour -- tops! Wrong!!! Three hours later I'm still toiling away. Yes, it is a labor of love . . . but good grief!!!

Have you had a similar experience? Please share your thoughts on the subject.

We made that decision on one of our websites.
After taking a careful look we realized that age of a website does matter. So we made changes to the old site and it was better than starting a new one..

Thank you for your input. An old website needs TLC from time to time -- it's more than an old friend -- it's a big part of me and what I've learned over the years. I wish you both all the best.

I have gone through this plenty of times. lol last year around thanks giving and christmas i really wanted to quit the current and start anew because I could not understand how i created a large error on my webpage. lol like I was really close to throwing old website out the door. But others reassured me that it would be okay and to go over my mistakes carefully. May take a day or two or even a week but you will get through it. I figured out my error the same day several hours later as I was quite tenacious in figuring out what I did wrong. lol lol lol

However the short of it is this. Do not give up so easily! if you come to hard a spot. Take a break! give your mind some reprieve. write notes if you have to of what you want the website to be about. (I just got the answer to this statement a few minutes ago myslef.) Then from there brain storm , let the juices flow then type away!!!

OR Start a fresh journey!!! Which ever works best for you!

Thank you so much!! Oh my goodness!!! I kept at it . . . and finally got it together. I started this particular website in 2014. I've tweaked it every year or so, but this time I wanted a whole new look! It is quite wonderful to know what we've learned here at WA allows us to build, rebuild and revamp our websites without needing outside assistance. I wish you much success in your online endeavors.

Thank you for your comment. Hopefully this facelift will boost my SEO -- I was feeling blah about my website and perhaps my visitors were as well. I wish you continued success!!
