OK so I've finally updated my website (PA System Hire Sydney) as recommended. Yes it's taken me 6 months. It was quite a bit of work to bring it up to speed. I had to:
-Change hosts (old was too slow)
-Change domains (.com to .com.au)
-Learn Wordpress
-Learn Visual Composer
-Learn a bit about responsive design
-Re-do all my photos (too small)
-Set up https
-Do 301 redirects from old pages (mobile & desktop sites)
-Read Steve Krugs book Don't Make Me Think Revisited as recommended.
Anyway I'm reasonably happy with it. It's been live for about a month. Compared to this time last year monthly traffic is up from 155 unique visits to 378 (140% increase) & bounce rate is down from 66% to 58% but my sales have dropped right off. Last January was $6K & this one looks like it will be about $2K. We have had terrible bush fires which has made a dent in the outdoor event scene but I'm still disappointed as I need to book about $8K just to get by.
Anyway I'd love to hear any feedback about the new site especially from those that were good enough to give me guidance back in July last year.
Cheers Lee.
