Your website is often the first impression potential customers have of your business. If it’s outdated or underperforming, it can silently cost you leads, credibility, and revenue—without you even realizing it.
But how do you know when it’s time for a website redesign?
At Ask the Egghead Inc., we specialize in modern, high-performing WordPress websites and fully managed hosting solutions built to help small businesses thrive online. Below, we break down the 10 biggest red flags that your website might be overdue for a makeover—and how we can help.
1. Your Website Looks Old or Out of Style
Design trends change rapidly. What was considered sleek and modern five years ago may now feel clunky and outdated. If your site still uses gradients, small fonts, flash animations, or crowded layouts—it’s time for a refresh.
Ask the Egghead can help you create a clean, responsive, and modern site that’s customized for your brand and industry.
2. It’s Not Mobile-Friendly
More than 60% of internet traffic now comes from mobile devices. If your website doesn’t adapt seamlessly to different screen sizes, visitors are more likely to leave frustrated.
We build mobile-first websites that look and perform great on phones, tablets, and desktops—guaranteed.
3. Slow Load Times
A few seconds of delay can lead to lost customers. If your site takes more than 3 seconds to load, you’re likely losing traffic—and search engines take note.
With our Managed WordPress Hosting, your site is optimized for speed with advanced caching, performance tuning, and automatic updates.
4. It’s Hard to Update or Maintain
Still relying on a web developer just to change a photo or update a service page? That’s inefficient and expensive.
We build all websites on user-friendly WordPress platforms, giving you full control over your content—without needing to code.
5. Your Website Doesn’t Reflect Your Brand
Has your business evolved, but your website still shows your old logo, messaging, or color scheme? That inconsistency can confuse potential clients.
Our team works closely with you to align your website with your current brand and business goals, from visuals to voice.
6. Low Conversion Rates
If visitors aren’t taking action—calling, booking, or buying—your site may have usability issues, poor navigation, or unclear calls-to-action.
We focus on conversion-centered design so that your website not only looks great but drives real results.
7. It Lacks Basic SEO Features
Outdated websites often aren’t built with search engines in mind. If your content structure, page speed, and technical SEO are lacking, your visibility will suffer.
Ask the Egghead builds SEO-ready websites with clean code, optimized structure, and integrated tools to boost your rankings.
8. It’s Not Secure (No SSL)
If your website doesn’t have HTTPS encryption, browsers label it as “Not Secure.” This scares away visitors and damages your credibility.
Every hosting plan we offer includes SSL certificates, malware scanning, and regular backups to keep your site safe and trustworthy.
9. Your Competitors’ Sites Look Better
If your competitors are updating their websites and yours is lagging behind, customers may choose them—based on visual appeal or functionality alone.
Let us help you stand out in your market with a site that not only competes, but leads in design and performance.
10. It Doesn’t Support Your Current Business Goals
Are you launching a new product, expanding services, or targeting a new audience? Your website should be built to support and scale with your evolving goals.
We offer strategy-first web design that aligns with your vision, growth plans, and marketing goals—today and in the future.
