In the same way summer invites you to take a step back and reset, your website might need the same kind of attention. If your online presence hasn’t been touched in years, you’re not alone. Here are five signs it might be time for a website refresh—no full overhaul required.

1. It doesn’t reflect your current business.

If your services or branding have changed, but your website hasn’t, you’re telling the wrong story. A few updates to content and structure can go a long way in aligning with your business today.

2. It’s hard to use on mobile.

Over half of traffic is mobile. If buttons are hard to click or the layout feels clunky, it’s driving people away. Our projects always include mobile optimizations like sticky CTAs and simplified navigation.

3. Your contact form is a dead end.

A basic “Name, Email, Message” form is better than nothing—but not by much. Adding dropdowns, source info, and a clear CTA button improves conversions dramatically.

4. You’re embarrassed to share your site.

If you're hesitating to send someone to your URL, that’s a sign. A clean, modern layout that feels up-to-date gives you confidence and your customers clarity.

5. It’s not getting updated—because it’s a pain.

Using an outdated platform or needing a developer for every edit is exhausting. We recommend CMS setups that let you make small updates easily and independently.
