Redesign decisions

Signs You Need a Redesign vs Signs You Just Need Fixes

A full redesign is expensive and disruptive. Most sites that feel like they need one actually just need a specific, targeted set of fixes.

Signs you just need fixes

Weak copy, missing trust signals, poor CTA placement, slow images, or outdated content are all fixable without touching the underlying structure or platform.

Signs a redesign is genuinely warranted

A structure that fundamentally can't support mobile-first design, or a platform actively limiting growth and functionality you now need, are real reasons to rebuild.

The test that clarifies which category you're in

If you can name specific, individual problems, they're probably fixes. If the whole thing just feels wrong without a clear reason why, that's worth a proper diagnosis before assuming either way.

Why this distinction saves real money
