10 Signs Your Small Business Website Needs a Redesign

Your website is often the first impression a customer has of your business. If it looks dated or is hard to use, people leave — usually for a competitor. Here are ten signs it's time for a redesign.

The obvious ones

• It doesn't work properly on phones (more than half your visitors are on mobile).
• It loads slowly — visitors abandon sites that take more than a few seconds.
• The design looks like it's from a decade ago.
• You can't update it yourself without calling a developer.
• It doesn't show up on Google for what you do.

The subtle but costly ones

• Visitors come but don't enquire — there's no clear next step.
• Your branding has changed but the site hasn't caught up.
• It's missing basics like an SSL padlock, so browsers flag it as "not secure."
• You're embarrassed to send people to it.
• It doesn't reflect how much your business has grown.

What to do next

A redesign doesn't have to mean starting from scratch or breaking the bank. Often the biggest wins come from a faster, mobile-first rebuild with clear calls to action. Ask us for a free review of your current site and we'll tell you honestly what's worth changing.
