The Top 5 Signs Your Website Needs a Redesign
Having a website is great, but if it’s outdated or difficult to use, it can actually harm your business more than help it. Customers expect clear, modern, and professional websites that make their journey easy. If your site isn’t giving the right impression, it may be time for a refresh.
If you’re just starting out and don’t yet have a website, you may want to first read my earlier post: Why Every Small Business Needs a Professional Website.
Here are the top 5 signs your website could be due for a redesign.
1. It Looks Outdated
Design trends move quickly. If your website looks like it was built years ago, visitors will notice. A modern layout, clear fonts, and professional visuals all help to build trust and show your business is up to date.
2. It’s Not Mobile-Friendly
Over half of website traffic today comes from mobiles (Statista). If your site is hard to use on a phone, people will simply leave. A redesign ensures your website looks great and works smoothly on all devices.
3. Slow Loading Times
If your pages take more than a few seconds to load, visitors won’t wait around. Speed is key not just for user experience but also for search engines like Google (Google PageSpeed Insights). A redesign can optimise images, hosting, and code to speed things up.
4. Poor Navigation and Layout
A confusing menu or cluttered layout puts people off. Your website should guide users to the information they need without frustration. A redesign helps create a clear structure that improves the customer journey.
5. Low Conversions
If you’re getting visitors but not enquiries, calls, or sales, your design could be to blame. A new website can highlight your services more clearly, use stronger calls to action, and encourage users to take the next step.
