Let’s be honest — most companies don’t have a good story to tell. They’re doing great work and delivering…
Webpage rot is part of the reality of the internet. A study in 2003 found that 2% of the internet went away every week, and a 2016 study found that 66.68% of domains that ranked in the top 30 in Google were nowhere to be found in 2015.

Another study found that 66.68% of domains that ranked in the top 30 in Google in 2010 were nowhere to be found by 2015. Because the internet and websites are fluid, content gets lost. If you’re actively working on a website, adding pages and links and new features, then this…
