An updated website helps ensure good security, supports SEO efforts, improves user experience, and reflects current web standards and technologies. Regular updates can also show your customers that your business is active and adapting to their needs, which can help build trust and credibility. Here are some common signs that your website is due for a redesign.

Slow Load Times

Modern websites are optimized for speed, utilizing modern web technologies and hosting solutions. If a site takes more than a few seconds to load, it’s likely outdated. Speed is crucial for customer retention and search engine performance.

Lacks Phone Support

Outdated Design

Aesthetic trends in web design change over time. An obsolete website often has a dated appearance, such as glossy buttons, beveled edges, or cluttered layouts. In a storefront, this can come off as charming but as a website it will translate to clunky or odd.

Poor Search Engine Ranking

Search engines are constantly updating their ranking algorithms to adapt to the ever-changing internet. Search engines like Google continue to require industry standards such as responsiveness, accessibility, etc. If your website is not performing well on Google, it could be a sign that you are due for a redesign.
