Whilst revamping your website might be in the back of your mind constantly, it’s probably not at the top of your to-do list.
Between client work, content creation, admin, and that never-ending inbox, redesigning your website can feel like a “someday” task. Yano – something you’ll get to when things calm down a bit (whenever that is). But the thing is putting off your website revamp is actually costing you MORE time every single day. Let me explain:
Outdated websites add unnecessary admin time
Imagine coming to work and every day your desk is a total mess. I’m talking stacks of paper, abandoned coffee cups, and a sea of scribbled post-it notes. Trying to get anything done in that kind of chaos would be exhausting and painfully time-consuming.
“Where did I put that important note?” Cue hours wasted on rooting through.
“How did I do this last time?” You can’t remember because the first time was a stressful blur.
“What does this post-it even mean???” Who knows? Your brain is already fried!
That’s exactly what building or updating a website can feel like when it’s not been revamped to your current business needs and goals. It’s no wonder so many female founders put it off or settle for something ‘good enough’ because just thinking about sorting through it all feels overwhelming.
Buuutttt once you clear the clutter and upgrade to something that actually works for you, the relief you feel, the momentum you gain, and the time you save is totally worth that initial upfront time cost.
Outdated websites create MORE work for you
You already know your website isn’t doing your business justice…but what you might not realise is that your outdated website is adding MORE work to your plate instead of taking it off. This is because you end up:
- Answering the same questions over DMs because your services page isn’t clear.
- Manually chasing leads that should be coming in automatically.
- Getting on calls with the wrong people because your offers / prices / reflection of your value isn’t up to date.
- Apologising for the site when people ask to check it out.
- Spending hours fiddling with endless design tweaks that do nothing to make your site look better.
It’s frustrating and a serious drain on your time and energy.
Outdated websites attract the wrong people
Okay so this one might not seem like a big deal at first – I mean your busy with clients so the idea of EVEN MORE clients is not necessarily what you need right now. But what happens when your client pipeline does start to drop off? Or when you launch a new offer? Or what to upgrade the clientele you serve?
If your website looks overly DIY, outdated, and mismatched to your brand, those best-fit, dream clients will be clicking away before they even get to know you, leaving you stuck in cycles of outreach or attracting leads who don’t see your value. Which again…takes more of your time in the long run.
Outdated websites delay the ease you could be experiencing
Revamping your website isn’t just some surface level job that’s only about “making things look pretty” or ticking off a box. It’s about upgrading to a site that supports your business as it is NOW. Something that brings more ease to your day and frees up your time.
Because when your website actually reflects where you’re at (and where you’re going), everything starts to run smoother:
- Updating it feels simple. No outdated clutter or messy structure getting in the way (remember that chaotic desk?)
- It starts doing the heavy lifting: selling your services, answering FAQs, and cutting down the time you spend in DMs.
- Aligned inquiries start landing in your inbox (automatically might I add!) so you spend less time chasing and wondering where your best-fit, dream clients are at.
- It becomes part of your client pipeline, attracting the right people and filtering out those who no longer fit.
- And maybe best of all? You can finally share your website with confidence WITHOUT writing up that awkward “please ignore how bad it looks” disclaimer.
So…ready to finally tackle your website revamp?
If you’re in need of a revamp but finding yourself constantly putting it on the back burner (no matter how many years you promise you’ll get round to it) you can skip the time suck altogether and fast track to a Tailor-made, DFY website instead.
I’ll create a site for you that looks good, reflects the business you’re at today, and is super easy to update so that you can get on with what you love: growing your biz, supporting your clients, and taking more time off for YOU.
