Warning: This post is pretty lengthy…

Likely traditional transportation services, traditional websites are built on previous mindsets since 2000. Due to out-of-date mindsets, traditional websites cannot bring out the benefit and productivity for customers, which leads to a lack of information for customers about how helpful and outstanding a modern website could provide for their business.

Let's deep dive into the restrictions of traditional websites with the below details!

The displays are fixed so users cannot edit or adjust them. For instance, traditional websites would require a fixed-size logo that you cannot update the size or even upload the logo itself. Hence, you have to contact the website designer to help you edit the logo.

Fixed layouts

The layouts are not designed to be compatible with different smart devices, especially mobiles, which is also called “unresponsive” layouts. This creates a bad customer experience on mobile devices and, of course, is ineffective for branding and digital conversion.

Therefore, you hardly be certain of what your website would actually look like in the end.

Secondly, you cannot control the exact timeline of the website design process of the agency.
