How to Tell If Your Website Is Hurting Your Business
Your website should be your best salesperson — working 24/7 to attract visitors, build trust, and drive conversions. But for many businesses, their website is doing the opposite.
If your site is slow, confusing, or invisible in search, it’s costing you traffic, leads, and revenue every single day.
At Best Website, we help businesses across Nashville, Charleston, Atlanta, Austin, and beyond turn underperforming websites into high-converting growth tools. Here are the warning signs your website may be hurting your business — and how to fix them.
1. Your Website Looks Outdated
Design trends evolve quickly, and first impressions matter. An outdated website can make visitors assume your business is behind the times.
Signs it’s time for a refresh:
- Cluttered layouts and outdated typography
- Stock images that feel generic or low-quality
- Inconsistent branding or messaging
- Competitors’ sites look modern while yours feels stuck in the past
A custom redesign can transform your brand perception and immediately build trust.
2. Your Site Isn’t Mobile-Friendly
More than 60% of all web traffic now comes from mobile devices. If your website isn’t optimized for smaller screens, you’re losing potential customers.
- Difficult-to-read text frustrates visitors
- Buttons and forms aren’t touch-friendly
- Mobile load times are painfully slow
- Competitors with responsive designs win your traffic
We build mobile-first, responsive websites that perform beautifully across all devices.
3. Your Website Loads Slowly
Speed is non-negotiable in 2025. Users expect instant results, and Google rewards websites that deliver them.
- 53% of mobile visitors abandon sites that take longer than 3 seconds to load
- Each additional second of delay drops conversions by up to 7%
- Core Web Vitals performance directly impacts your SEO rankings
Our Better Hosting combines AWS-powered infrastructure, CDN acceleration, and optimized caching so your site is fast by default.
4. You’re Not Showing Up in Search Results
If your customers can’t find you, they’ll find your competitors. A website without an SEO strategy is invisible in today’s competitive landscape.
We solve this with ongoing SEO strategies designed to:
- Target high-intent keywords that drive qualified traffic
- Optimize technical SEO, metadata, and structured data
- Build localized content to dominate near-me searches
- Continuously monitor rankings and performance
Your website should work as hard as you do to attract the right visitors.
5. Your Website Isn’t Generating Leads
Traffic without conversions is wasted potential. If your forms aren’t filled, phones aren’t ringing, or carts are abandoned, your website may lack:
- Clear calls-to-action on every page
- Optimized landing pages that guide users naturally
- Easy-to-use forms that encourage submissions
- Integrated marketing tools to capture and nurture leads
We design conversion-focused websites that turn traffic into leads — and leads into customers.
6. You’re Constantly Fixing Things
If your website feels fragile — breaking every time a plugin updates or traffic spikes — it’s holding your business back.
With Best Website’s proactive support, you get:
- Unlimited website edits included with support plans
- 24/7 monitoring to catch issues before they escalate
- Automatic updates and daily backups
- Hands-on troubleshooting whenever you need it
Your website shouldn’t feel like a liability. We make it an asset.
7. Your Website Doesn’t Reflect Your Business Today
Your business evolves. If your website doesn’t reflect your current services, positioning, or goals, it’s creating confusion for potential customers.
A strategic refresh ensures your website:
- Highlights your most profitable offerings
- Aligns with your updated branding and messaging
- Speaks directly to your ideal audience
- Supports your growth into new markets
Your website should always match where your business is headed — not where it used to be.
