Most websites do not fail loudly. They quietly send people to your competitors. Here are seven signs to look for.
The seven signs
- It takes more than three seconds to load on a phone
- Visitors cannot tell what you do in five seconds
- There is no clear button to book, call or get a quote
- Prices are hidden or missing
- Photos are old, blurry or stock images
- Your contact form is broken or never replies
- It looks outdated next to your competitors
How to check yours
Open your site on your phone using mobile data, not wifi. Try to book or enquire as if you were a new client. Or run our free website audit for a quick 5-point check.
What to fix first
Start with speed and a clear call to action. These two changes usually bring the biggest jump in enquiries.
The short version
Your website should make it easy to say yes. Want a hand with this? Tell us about your business and we will reply within one business day.
