I have been looking over one of our case studys and seeing what happened to them after a website redesign.
You can see an exponential increase in subscribes with a direct correlation to the website redesign, with there website re-design it wasn’t just making there website look better, they created big call to actions to subscribe to their website via RSS and email which was the aim of the re-design. Doing so has quadrupled the number of subscribers they have.
