Your website works for you 24/7 — or at least, it should. But if it hasn’t been updated in a while, it might actually be turning potential customers away without you even knowing.

Here are five signs your website needs attention.

1. It’s not mobile-friendly

Over 60% of web traffic in Australia comes from mobile devices. If your site doesn’t look and work great on a phone, you’re losing more than half your potential visitors before they even see what you offer.

A mobile-friendly site isn’t optional anymore — it’s the baseline.

2. It takes more than 3 seconds to load

Speed matters. Research consistently shows that if a page takes longer than 3 seconds to load, most people will leave and go to a competitor. Common culprits include oversized images, outdated plugins, and cheap hosting.

3. Your content is outdated

If your website still lists services you no longer offer, has a copyright date from 2021, or features team members who’ve moved on — it sends a signal that you don’t pay attention to detail. Customers notice.

4. You can’t update it yourself

If making a simple text change requires calling a developer and waiting days, your website is holding you back. Modern websites should give you the ability to make basic updates without technical knowledge.

5. It doesn’t show up on Google

If people can’t find you when they search for your services in your area, your website isn’t doing its job. Basic SEO — page titles, meta descriptions, headings, and local keywords — can make a huge difference. A proper digital marketing strategy can get you ranking for the right searches.

What to do about it

If any of these sound familiar, it might be time for a refresh. That doesn’t necessarily mean a complete rebuild — sometimes a few targeted improvements can transform your results.
