Relaunching a website this year?

Here are some quick facts about website launches this year. Are you going to be involved in any of them?

  • 58% of Websites are planning a relaunch this year.
  • 49% of Website managers say usability is their top challenge in 2004.
  • 41% of Web sites will be upgrading or deploying a new commerce platform for their site this year.

I think it would be safe to say usability is getting a lot more attention these days. In the infancy of the internet usability wasn’t looked at that much, what looked cool and sexy was top priority. So we may see a decline in those all-flash websites this year, bummer.
