Your website might be live – but is it working?
In 2025, your website isn’t just a digital brochure. It’s your first impression, your salesperson, and often your only chance to win over a customer. If it’s outdated, slow, or confusing, it could be costing you business every single day.
Here are 5 clear signs it’s time for a redesign – and how to fix them.
1. It Looks Like It’s From 2015 (Because It Is)
If your site hasn’t changed in years, it probably:
- Isn’t mobile-friendly
- Uses outdated fonts or layouts
- Doesn’t reflect your current brand
An old-fashioned design = instant distrust.
What to do: Go for a clean, modern look that works across all devices. Use updated visuals, fonts, and messaging that align with your brand today — not ten years ago.
2. It’s Slow and Unresponsive
Slow websites:
- Kill your SEO
- Frustrate your users
- Drive people away before they even see your offer
Google expects your site to load in under 2.5 seconds.
What to do:
- Switch to faster hosting
- Optimise your images and scripts
- Use caching and a content delivery network (CDN)
3. You’re Embarrassed to Share the Link
Do you hesitate before sending someone to your website? That’s a big red flag. Your website should:
- Make you feel proud
- Represent your professionalism
- Help close deals
Your digital presence should sell – not stall.
What to do: Redesign with confidence and clarity in mind. Create clear calls-to-action, engaging copy, and visual structure that builds trust.
4. It’s Not Bringing You Leads or Sales
A pretty site that doesn’t convert is just expensive decoration.
Ask yourself:
- Are people contacting you through the site?
- Are you tracking conversions?
- Is the user journey clear?
What to do: Focus your redesign on conversion-focused design:
- Clear structure
- Simple navigation
- Compelling CTAs
- Contact forms and lead magnets
5. You Can’t Update It Without a Developer
In 2025, you should have control. If:
- You can’t change a photo
- You don’t know how to update content
- You rely on someone else for every small edit
… it’s time to move to a modern, user-friendly platform.
What to do:
Choose a CMS like WordPress with a visual builder (like Elementor or Gutenberg) — or talk to us about a custom solution that gives you power without complexity.
Final Thoughts: Your Website = Your Business Online
If your website feels old, slow, or ineffective, you’re not alone.

- Boost your credibility
- Improve your SEO
