Can a Website Last Forever?
A well-designed website should last between 3 and 4 years, with maintenance. At that point, a major web update can be expected to be required. That would be a separately priced re-design.

How long do websites usually last?

The Lifespan of an Average Website

According to research, the average lifespan of a website is 2 years and 7 months. While this timeframe can give you some basic guidance, it isn't a hard and fast rule for all organizations.

How do I make my website last forever?

Make Time Explicit

  1. explicitly mention the date (including the year) the page was originally written.
  2. add a prominent disclaimer to point out ways in which the page no longer applies (e.g., "This product is no longer being manufactured" )
  3. forward-pointing links to the most recent pages about the same topic.
