Five signs your small business website may need a redesign
(& how we can help!)

Is your local business stuck in the website stone age? As a business owner in Ledyard, Connecticut, I can not help but observe the local small businesses and how they operate their online presence. From my experience, in the charming town of Ledyard, Connecticut, small businesses are the backbone of the community. But in today’s digital age, a charming storefront just isn’t enough. In an increasingly online world, your website is your virtual storefront, and if it’s outdated or poorly designed, it could be costing you customers.

So, how do you know if your local small business website needs a refresh?

Here are five tell tale signs:

1. You’re not mobile-first

Mobile browsing dominates, so if your website isn’t responsive and optimized for smartphones and tablets, you’re missing out on a huge chunk of your target audience.

2. You’re Not Found in Local Searches

When people in Ledyard search for businesses like yours online, does your website appear? If not, you’re missing out on valuable local traffic. SEO is key to ensuring your brand can compete with other brands!

3. Your website doesn’t reflect your brand

Is your website’s tone, style, and messaging consistent with your overall brand identity? If not, it’s creating a confusing and disjointed experience for potential customers. Creating a consistent brand identity allows customers to engage and recognize your brand easier.

4. You’re missing out on social proof

Don’t your happy customers have something to say? Integrating testimonials, reviews, and case studies builds trust and credibility with potential customers. Let us help you integrate/set-up your Google Business into your website.

5. It’s not accessible

Does your website adhere to accessibility standards, allowing everyone to navigate and use it easily? Ignoring accessibility not only excludes potential customers but also hurts your brand image.
