Website relaunch: 8 signs your website needs renewing

The eight signs

1. It is hard to use on a smartphone.
2. It loads slowly.
3. The browser shows “not secure” (no HTTPS).
4. The content is out of date – old opening hours, “© 2017”.
5. You cannot change anything yourself, or your former provider is unreachable.
6. The technology is outdated – no updates for years is a security risk.
7. People cannot find you on Google for your service and town.
8. The website brings no enquiries.

Overhaul or rebuild?

Single issues can often be fixed directly. If several apply – especially mobile, technology and security – a rebuild is usually cheaper than many repairs. In a relaunch, old addresses are redirected so Google rankings are kept, and good content moves along.
