New websites
In a similar manner to bricks and mortar businesses, websites are shop windows to our customers, our colleagues and the public.
Websites face out into the world, so every few years most will need some form of overhaul. This will likely be motivated by: business needs, underlying technology, visual appearance and how one feels about the site. For brochure or portfolio websites, that feeling of pride (or lack thereof) is most likely the strongest indication of whether the site should be improved.
I seem to rebuild my own site every six to eight years for all of the reasons outlined above.
History of We Sort’s websites
Back in 2010, nine months after starting out, I named the business We Sort. Up to that point I’d was a freelancer working under my own name. However, I knew that I wanted some level of personal and professional separation. So I’d been seeking the right words as a business name for a while.
Over the years it has evolved as required and as desired.
