5 Signs Your Business Needs a New Website (And What to Do About It)
Your website is often the first impression potential customers have of your business. If it’s outdated, slow, or difficult to navigate, you could be losing valuable leads without even realising it. Here are five clear signs that you need a new website – and how we can help.
1. Your Website Looks Outdated
First impressions matter. If your website looks like it was built in 2010 (or worse, 2000!), visitors may assume your business is outdated too. Modern customers expect clean, mobile-friendly designs that are easy to navigate. If your site still has cluttered layouts, tiny text, or old-school graphics, it’s time for a refresh.
2. It’s Not Mobile-Friendly
Over 50% of website traffic comes from mobile devices. If your website doesn’t adjust properly on a smartphone or tablet, you’re frustrating potential customers and sending them elsewhere. A mobile-friendly website automatically adapts to different screen sizes, ensuring a smooth experience for all visitors.
3. Your Website Loads Too Slowly
Speed matters. Studies show that if a website takes more than three seconds to load, people are likely to leave. A slow website not only loses customers but also ranks lower on Google. If your site lags, it could be due to outdated coding, large image files, or poor hosting – issues that can be easily fixed with a website upgrade.
4. It’s Hard to Update or Manage
Do you struggle to make simple changes to your website, like updating your contact details or adding new services? If your website relies on an outdated platform or a hard-to-use builder, it can be frustrating and time-consuming. A modern website should be easy to update without needing to hire a developer every time you want a small change.
5. It’s Not Bringing in Business
Your website should work for you, not just sit there. If you’re not getting enquiries, bookings, or sales from your site, it’s not doing its job. A well-optimised website with clear calls to action can turn visitors into customers. If your current site isn’t delivering results, it’s time for a rethink.
