5 signs your website needs a refresh.

Your website is often the first impression potential customers have of your business. But even the best sites need a refresh every few years to stay current and effective. Here are five signs it might be time to update yours:

1. It Looks Dated
If your site still uses old fonts, outdated layouts, or images that don’t fit today’s standards, visitors may assume your business is behind the times. A modern, clean design helps build trust and credibility.

2. It’s Slow to Load
A slow website can drive visitors away before they even see your content. Check your site’s speed using tools like Google PageSpeed Insights. If it’s lagging, a rebuild or optimization can make a big difference.

3. It Doesn’t Work Well on Mobile
More than half of web traffic comes from phones. If your site isn’t mobile-friendly—text too small, buttons hard to tap—it’s time to redesign for a better mobile experience.

4. Your Content No Longer Reflects Your Business
If your services, branding, or goals have changed, your website should reflect that. Updated copy, photos, and design help ensure your site matches where your business is today.

5. You’re Not Getting the Results You Want
If inquiries, sales, or engagement have dropped, your site’s design or structure could be part of the problem. A refresh focused on user experience and SEO can help bring results back up.
