class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is probably the most obvious red flag you should notice. If your website looks as if a toddler did it while messing around on their parents&#8217;<\/span> computer, you haven&#8217;t had it refurbished in quite a long time. It&#8217;s time for a new look, not only because looking old and fragile is not a great look for your brand, regardless of the product or service you offer. More importantly, your SEO, load time, and all relevant stats will suffer significantly. Not to mention that your customers will have doubts about <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">whether your website is still active and up-to-date.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1909\" height=\"724\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Looking-old.png\" alt=\"Screenshot of an old looking website\" class=\"wp-image-4185\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Looking-old.png 1909w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Looking-old-300x114.png 300w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Looking-old-1110x421.png 1110w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Looking-old-768x291.png 768w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Looking-old-1536x583.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Looking-old-24x9.png 24w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Looking-old-36x14.png 36w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Looking-old-48x18.png 48w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1909px) 100vw, 1909px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is definitely not the &#8220;retro&#8221; view you should be going for. Yes, nostalgia sells, but when it&#8217;s done with a modern touch. Simply staying in the past will only harm your chances.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unlike offline fads, online trends change based on user behaviors. In other words, if your website is outdated, it will simply deter massive numbers of your target audience from considering your product or service as a solution to their problems. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/business.adobe.com\/blog\/how-to\/design-a-website-tutorial\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Adobe research<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> showed that 38% of people stop engaging with a website if the layout or content is unattractive.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, if your website feels and looks old, it&#8217;s time for a refurbishment. Check out the latest trends and start planning what you want your new website to look like.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-you-are-lagging-behind-your-industry\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"You_Are_Lagging_Behind_Your_Industry\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You Are Lagging Behind Your Industry<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Being unique is important both in the real world and on the internet. However, lagging behind your competitors is anything but unique. That&#8217;s simply giving up. Having a business requires constant monitoring of your competitors: what they do, how they perform, what they offer, what their advantages are, and most importantly, what their weaknesses are. Naturally, monitoring their website and its performance should be a top priority. After all, for an online business, the website is the touchpoint between the customer and the brand.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But surveilling alone won&#8217;t be enough. You need to analyze their UX, track their performance, and determine whether you are losing customers to them due to their new look and features.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That said, not every change is positive<\/span>. Some changes may tarnish the brand&#8217;s performance and reputation. Still, if the entire industry is following a particular direction and it&#8217;s evident that the target audience is intrigued, lagging behind will cost you customers and revenue. So, while being one or two steps behind your competition isn&#8217;t the end of the world if you notice you need to catch up in design, features, or UX, it&#8217;s best to follow the lead and update<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> your website&#8217;s design.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-your-bounce-rate-is-too-high\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Your_Bounce_Rate_Is_Too_High\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your Bounce Rate Is Too High<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A high bounce rate is often associated with problems on your website. It usually indicates a problem with speed, usability, content, or responsiveness. Users don&#8217;t need much to close the tab on your website. Keep in mind that often, people have 10 to 12 open tabs when searching for a solution to their problem. Having one of them unresponsive, with confusing design or content, is enough to make them bail.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1110\" height=\"481\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Bouncerate.png\" alt=\"Representation of bounce rate\" class=\"wp-image-4182\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Bouncerate.png 1110w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Bouncerate-300x130.png 300w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Bouncerate-768x333.png 768w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Bouncerate-24x10.png 24w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Bouncerate-36x16.png 36w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Bouncerate-48x21.png 48w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1110px) 100vw, 1110px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now, there are several ways to combat this high bounce rate. We actually have a pretty detailed article on the topic, and we urge you to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/why-is-your-bounce-rate-so-damn-high\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">check it out<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Still, if the problem persists, chances are, your website needs refurbishing. Fixing your website&#8217;s usability, content order, and overall design requires a more substantial endeavor. However, leaving it as is will prove detrimental to your business.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-your-conversion-rate-has-plummeted\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Your_Conversion_Rate_Has_Plummeted\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your Conversion Rate Has Plummeted<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your website design has a lot to do with your conversion rate. No matter how good your advertisement and on-site content are, converting a user into a customer also requires visual persuasion. Nothing can create a customer journey quite like a website&#8217;s design, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/how-to-create-a-visual-hierarchy-on-your-website\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">visual hierarchy<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/the-color-theory-or-how-to-choose-your-websites-colors\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">colors<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. All these aspects make high conversion rates possible.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just like customer preferences and behavior change over time, so do the requirements for a successful website design. Naturally, you need to be on top of the trends. Don&#8217;t allow your overall conversion rate to plummet. Of course, some deviations are quite normal. If you have been in business for some years, you know how the months and seasons affect your conversions. Even so, if the conversion rate decreases slightly, there is no reason to panic.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, if the numbers consistently fall short of<\/span> the baseline, it&#8217;s time to take action. Assess your current customer journey and identify what&#8217;s causing the decline in conversion rate<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. What aspects of your website can you improve, and what content is outdated?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just starting refurbishing without doing your homework first is a recipe for disaster. Find out what aspects of your website need an update and how to please your customers. Creating a customer journey map is an excellent way to put yourself in your customers&#8217; shoes and gather first-hand data.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-navigation-is-a-labyrinth\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Navigation_Is_a_Labyrinth\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Navigation Is a Labyrinth<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Navigation is among the most critical aspects of your website. Having a labyrinth-like navigation will decrease your overall performance. Your conversion rates will plummet, and your bounce rate will skyrocket. Moreover, your website&#8217;s usability will suffer, leading to penalties from Google and other search engines.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Modern website navigation rarely has this problem. Current trends require a minimalistic approach. In other words, having a 20-page spreadsheet of menu options is unacceptable.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You need to categorize your content to suit your customers&#8217; needs. As we already explained, however, customers&#8217; needs are often fluid and change over time. Now, not all navigation changes require a total website refurbishment. However, once these changes become significant, you might want to start all over. Otherwise, you risk leaving something out of touch or, worse, sending your customers to a 404 page. These types of sloppy mistakes will ruin your credibility, authority, and customer loyalty.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-your-content-is-out-of-date\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Your_Content_Is_Out_of_Date\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your Content Is Out of Date<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Speaking of bad navigation, the only thing worse<\/span> than it is out-of-date content. This will ruin all your SEO efforts, and even content that was once at the top of Google&#8217;s SERP will eventually go into oblivion. This is natural, as people seek current information. For example, if you&#8217;ve used statistics from 2010, they are hardly relevant today. Can you imagine using statistical data on internet and mobile use from <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2000? A quarter of a century has passed since then.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, having outdated content is a clear sign that you need some website work. However, with content changes, some graphics and images often need updating as well. This can mess up your overall layout, especially if your design is based on your content length and width.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moreover, if your content needs to be updated, chances are your overall design needs to catch up to current trends. More importantly, it fails to meet user&#8217;s requirements and needs.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, if your core content needs to be updated, your homepage is outdated, and your landing pages focus on features that are no longer relevant, consider refurbishing your entire website<\/span>. Bringing fresh content to your website <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">will boost not only your SEO score but also your overall performance.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-you-have-gone-through-rebranding\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"You_Have_Gone_Through_Rebranding\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You Have Gone Through Rebranding<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Almost all points in this list start with how certain aspects of your business change over time. That&#8217;s not coincidental. Your brand as a whole is fluid and must follow the shape and form of the market it serves. Thus, brand changes are inevitable. Your brand may take on a new path, introduce a new value system, or even change its look. There are countless examples across all industries. Rebranding is part of business growth. Resisting it will only harm your business goals.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is true for small businesses as well. However, many inexperienced small-time business owners somehow forget that rebranding is not only about <\/span>changing a few words. Rebranding means creating a whole new brand persona, voice, values, and everything new<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Naturally, this means your website&#8217;s design should change as well.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A brand&#8217;s website reflects its persona, voice, and values. It represents the brand through colors, structure, and content. So, transforming your brand also requires changing your website. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Often, small-time brands forget to allocate the needed budget for this change, resulting in swapping the brand&#8217;s logo and nothing else. However, this inevitably leads to poorer performance, as the messages throughout the brand&#8217;s channels won&#8217;t be synced. The voice of your website won&#8217;t respond to the new company outlook. This will inevitably cause a loss of trust and credibility.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, whenever it&#8217;s time to rebrand your company, make sure to allocate enough resources to refurbish your website as well. It needs to correspond to your new outlook.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-your-business-is-growing\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Your_Business_Is_Growing\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your Business Is Growing<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your business doesn&#8217;t need to suffer for you to change your website&#8217;s look. In fact, if things are going great, that&#8217;s also a great reason to change your overall design.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whenever we start a business, our goal is<\/span> to grow and expand. A proper business plan will help you plan this best-case scenario. However, as your brand grows, so should your website. For example, if you start offering new services or products, you must include them. Depending on how your website was built, this may be impossible to do with a quick fix. In other words, if your website were<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> constructed like a freelance website, it can&#8217;t accommodate all the company&#8217;s needs. Growing your website&#8217;s content will always require a new design.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moreover, new functionalities will become inevitable as the demand for your time grows. For example, adding a new scheduled meeting calendar will give your audience instant feedback when they can arrange a meeting. This will save them time, thus making your website much more convenient to use. However, you can&#8217;t just put this feature anywhere. You need to plan your website&#8217;s customer journey anew.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, while your business growth is excellent news, it requires some extra effort, especially for refurbishing your website.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-there-are-one-too-many-small-changes\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"There_Are_One_Too_Many_Small_Changes\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There Are One Too Many Small Changes<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now, when we talk about building a completely new website, we mean major, mandatory changes to keep your customers and expand your audience. However, most of the time, these can be achieved by small fixes along the way. For example, if your product is already on the market, and you&#8217;ve noticed people being excited about a particular feature, you might change your content to focus on that feature.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Or, if your content is outdated, you can always update it by changing a few statistics and words.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, over time, these small changes start to pile up. Just like a shirt that has been patched 100 times is no longer presentable, your website will also have the same problem. It will look worn out, overused, and overfixed. Moreover, some problems may arise from coding errors caused by constantly changing aspects of the website.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, when these problems become too many, it&#8217;s better to start over. Though this may sound time-consuming, at a certain point, it becomes far easier than finding all related issues following a small fix. Thus, don&#8217;t hesitate to simply build a new design incorporating all the previous changes, without the patching&#8217;s negative effects.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-your-website-is-loading-too-slowly\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Your_Website_Is_Loading_Too_Slowly\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your Website Is Loading Too Slowly<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now, this is one serious issue that definitely requires your full attention. Slow loading speeds can devastate<\/span> your entire business in a matter of days. Statistics show that 53% of users will abandon a website if it takes longer than 3 seconds to load. This means effectively losing half of your potential customers due to slow speed. Moreover, each second of delay causes an additional 5% drop in your conversion rate. It&#8217;s obvious that your website&#8217;s availability on short<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> notice is detrimental.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unfortunately, old websites often have messy code<\/span>, especially those that have tried many features before settling on what works for them. User browsers take longer to parse this messy code, resulting in longer load times, <span style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\">customer frustration, and a massive drop\u00a0in\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">conversion rates.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, if your website&#8217;s loading speed is abysmal, refurbishing your website is mandatory. Moreover, it&#8217;s wise to consider switching <\/span>to cloud-based hosting. HostArmada, for example, offers cloud-based hosting solutions that guarantee lightning-fast performance, top-of-the-line security, and 99.9% uptime. Joining HostArmada will give you an edge in building your new design.

It&#8217;s a meticulously planned project that requires precision and planning. More importantly, its goal is not just to feel fresher and prettier but rather to fix problems, introduce new features without causing issues, and retain and expand your outreach and customer base.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, if you have noticed one or more of these signs, it&#8217;s time to start planning. Take a look at the current trends, research your competitors, and consider <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/hostarmada.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">HostArmada<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> as your hosting provider.
