Changing the way you’re doing the same inks the product or services you propose to the customers you are targeting. And to stay on top, you should always analyze your product and find the ways and specific problems which you want to solve and which will prompt you to consider the redesign. Reasons for redesigning vary depending on the specific marketing goals of your business, the most common reasons are to rebrand your site, increase traffic, generate more leads, and add functionality to improve the user experience. According to Taylor and Francis's online research, it saves zero to 5 seconds for a customer to like or dislike the digital product. So it is no longer a trivial task. A simple design update can be compared to painting a car a different color, replacing a cracked window, and cleaning up the cabin. Product redesign in the same car analogy means comprehensive and research-based improvements under the hood, such as a braking engine, fuel distribution system, or transmission settings. Although not immediately apparent, this modification significantly impacts the driving experience.

Figuring out the right time to say goodbye to WordPress and finding out how to do it painlessly. One day you may realize that you need to scale to make your business larger and to add more functionalities. And then, most definitely, you will face different kinds of technical limitations from WordPress. Things will get fuzzy, you won’t know what decision will be right, as you will probably be the one with a business model that works for years and brings you some money. Well, don’t worry, it’s a very common situation. WordPress might be very good to start with, but not good enough to continue. WordPress is the CMS system that was originally created as a block publishing tool giving people the ability to make their own websites easily, fast and cheap. Social media weren’t so popular back then, some of them didn’t exist at all, so people were happy to share stories on their own sites. A lot of engineers and designers started to work with WordPress too. They updated it with different themes and plugins which made functionality bigger. And that is why people started to use WordPress for other aims like making business websites, advertising websites or online shops. According to the latest data, 35% of all the websites in the world are developed with WordPress (this is huge!). There are two main reasons for that. First, it is very simple. Any person without engineering knowledge can understand how it works. Second, the installation is fast and cheap. But... 👉🏻 Why WordPress is so popular 👉🏻 Why it may actually be not the best solution for your business 👉🏻 When you should get off your dead horse 👉🏻 Three things that will help you to make the right decision 💻 Read the text version on the blog  https://linkupst.com/blog/how-to-scale-from-wordpress-to-custom-software/

 It's not a secret that app development costs a lot of time and money. But when you see how much revenue free mobile applications can generate, you understand the development expenses justify themselves. So, how to get into the Top 200 free apps market? Usually people are willing to spend more when they have a free opportunity to try the app rather than to pay for it when they haven't opened it before. People go inside your app, they see the value, they can receive some emotion from using the app, and then they are ready to spend some money in it or on it. When users get this pleasure from using your applications, they're actually ready to spend a few bucks on some perks that your apps give. When it comes to the app categories, the most popular one is games, making the biggest amount of money revenue.

Why it’s important for your designers and developers to help each other in their work and how it all helps to save you money and deliver your product to the market faster.
