7 classic signs your website’s outdated and needs an upgrade.

2. Unable to accommodate your needs
A small business may often find that as it grows, its website is no longer able to accommodate its needs. It could be time to update your website design to reflect your growth.

3. Not responsive
If your website is not optimised for use on mobile devices, it’s long overdue a re-haul. In fact, it’s a necessity if you want to stay competitive.

4. Stale content
It’s not just the look and feel of your site that contribute to whether it’s dated. Your content needs scrutinising, too. If your latest news article talks about last year’s Christmas party, your content needs working on to keep it fresh. This is also beneficial for search engine optimisation.

5. Slow to navigate
If your website is becoming slow and cumbersome to navigate, perhaps your systems are incompatible with new browsers, which might affect functionality. Slow navigation is a turn-off for users, so check the speed and ease of navigation of your site.

6. No tie-in with social media
If your website is devoid of social media share buttons, you’re falling behind the times. Having a tie-in with social media on your website is a great way to increase awareness of your site, and boost your SEO profile.

7. Outdated aesthetics
It’s not always easy to be specific about why a site looks outdated, but you just have a sense that it’s no longer on-trend. Often, it can be unfashionable choices of fonts, colours or text size, or even be about how you use white space. Generally, website design should be freshened up at least every three years.

It doesn’t need to be that way and we can help! Have a look at our very reasonably priced cashflow friendly website bundles below.

We've been working with Canterbury Website Design for five years now and they've been a reliable, knowledgeable partner throughout. They look after our websites and SEO, and we've seen solid, consistent results over that time. Communication is straightforward and they understand our business. Happy to recommend them to other local businesses looking for a trustworthy web agency.

I’ve worked with Chantal for many years across multiple websites for our business, and I can honestly say her knowledge and expertise have been invaluable. From the very beginning she has provided clear guidance, practical advice, and solutions that have helped our school improve its online presence.

What stands out most is how consistently supportive and reliable she is. She takes the time to explain things, responds quickly when we need help, and always makes sure everything is running smoothly. Her experience really shows in the quality of her work and in the confidence she gives you that your website and digital marketing are in safe hands.

The results we’ve seen over the years speak for themselves, and the service she provides represents excellent value for money. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a skilled, trustworthy, and highly professional web and SEO

Canterbury Website Design & SEO have been a huge part of getting our new website over the line. Chantal and her team worked miracles to resolve our WordPress issues, enabling us to launch on time, and her maintenance plan gives us peace of mind that our site functions as intended (whilst staying on budget) - allowing us to focus on our core business. 10/10 would definitely recommend!

MelaNoMore is a  Melanoma Support Group covering the Surrey and Sussex area.  We are made up of a group of non-technical folk who are getting on a bit. Canterbury Website Design have been very helpful to us in setting up our website and emails and do a great job in keeping things simple so we can all understand what is happening. Would thoroughly recommend them to anyone venturing into the world of websites, domains etc. particularly for inexperienced "webbers". They do a great job and  provide patient tutorials.

We asked Chantal to create a website for us with very minimal instructions and her and the team got it spot on 1st time, ever since setting the website up we have asked for multiple changes to improve and adapt and it has always been completed within a couple of days.

Very happy with the service and professionalism.

I would describe myself of someone who knows very little about websites and tech-speak, but the service I have received from Canterbury Website Design has been excellent all the way through setting up my website.  No query was too much and I was talked through every step of the process.  I am delighted with the result and would definitely recommend using this service.

If you are looking for a Website designer Chantel is your lady. I have been a client of Chantel's for 3 years now and would not go anywhere else.

She is very responsive, professional and delivers everything you require and more from start to finish.

I have and will continue to recommend her services to friends family or anyone looking for what she does.

Her services deserve 10 stars 🌟

Looking for a responsive local company, we commissioned Canterbury Website Design to build two sites to replace dated brand sites within our business.  Whilst one site was quite simple, the other quite demanding to put together.  Chantal and her team demonstrated great patience and delivered just what we were looking for.  Great attention to detail.
Highly recommended.

The real deal. I never doubted for a moment that CWD would do everything in its power to present, enhance and propel my small proofreading business. Chantal makes you feel like a local captain of industry, and the results are immediate and beautiful. Perhaps the easiest way I've found to triple my money on investing in a service; all you have to do is wait and watch new clients come streaming in.
