Is It Time to Redesign Your Website? 5 Signs Your Website Is Holding You Back

Let’s be real. Your website should feel like your business’s cozy, confident digital home. But sometimes, it ends up feeling more like that spare room you keep the door closed on. You know the one.

If you’re starting to get the itch that your website isn’t doing what it should (or just feels kinda “meh”), here are five signs it might be time to give it a glow-up.

1. You’re Low-Key Embarrassed to Share It

If you find yourself hesitating to send your link, or saying things like “It’s kind of outdated, don’t judge,” you’re not alone. Your site should be something you’re excited to show off.

When you work with people who value connection, like most heart-led service providers, your site needs to feel like you. Not like a dusty online brochure from 2017.

2. It Doesn’t Match Where You Are in Your Business

Maybe you’ve niched down. Maybe your style’s evolved. Maybe your business has had a full-on glow-up, but your website’s still stuck in the past.

It’s super common. And it’s also a huge missed opportunity. A site that reflects where you are now builds trust faster and helps the right people feel connected to your work. That’s the magic of good, strategic design. (Hi, that’s what I do.)

3. Crickets. No Inquiries. Nada.

If your website isn’t bringing in leads, converting visitors, or even getting comments like “Oh my gosh, I loved your site,” something’s off.

The truth? Pretty doesn’t pay the bills. Your site needs to work, not just sit there looking cute. That’s why I build custom Squarespace websites that don’t just look good but are built to help your dream clients find you, trust you, and say “heck yes” to working with you.

4. Updating It Feels Like a Chore

If your website is hard to update or you don’t even want to touch it, you’ll end up avoiding it. Fast.

A good site should be easy to tweak as you grow. I build websites you can actually manage without crying or Googling how to change a headline for 45 minutes.

5. It Just Doesn’t Feel Like You

This one’s big. If your website feels generic, stiff, or like someone else wrote it, that disconnect can drive people away even if your work is amazing.

You’re not cookie-cutter. You’re thoughtful, heart-led, and intentional about how you show up. Your website should reflect that. When it does, your people will feel it.

So... is it time?

If you’re nodding along to a couple (or all) of these, your website might be holding you back more than you think.

I create custom Squarespace websites for coaches, creatives, and service-based business owners who are ready for a site that finally feels aligned and does its job.
