Your website is often the first point of contact between your brand and your customers. But in a constantly evolving digital world, how do you know if your current site is still up to scratch?

At Design Grafico, a Montreal-based web design agency, we regularly assist brands with their website redesigns, often because they feel something is no longer working… without knowing exactly what.

Here are 5 clear signs that it’s time to redesign your site so that it becomes (once again) a real business driver.

1. Your site isn’t designed for mobile

By 2025, nearly 65% ​​of web traffic comes from mobile devices. (Source: Exploding Topics, June 2025).

A “responsive” design is no longer enough: It must be “mobile-first,” meaning designed for mobile use from the very beginning. Fluidity, speed, and intuitive navigation have become the norm.

Bud Lafleur‘s website redesign is a perfect example: the old site was unresponsive, the user experience was confusing. The result after the redesign? A fluid, fast site, designed for mobile devices, and aligned with the brand’s identity.

2. Your site no longer reflects your brand identity

Even if your site still works… you’ve evolved. Your positioning has become clearer, your offerings have changed, but your site has remained static. The result: a gap between who you are and what your site portrays.

A redesign is an opportunity to rethink your entire online presence, in line with your current brand image, your values, and your tone of voice. This is precisely what we did for Italbec. Their old site no longer reflected their premium positioning. Our redesign created a platform that was elegant, clear, and aligned with their new direction. 

3. Your website isn’t designed for conversion

A beautiful website is good. A website that generates leads, sales, or contacts is even better.

If your visitors don’t know what to do when they arrive on your site, or if your conversion rate is low, it’s often because your user journey is poorly designed.

At Design Grafico, we build web interfaces focused on business objectives, with clear calls to action, a logical hierarchy of information, and smooth navigation.

4. Your SEO is nonexistent or ineffective

A website that isn’t optimized for search engines and artificial intelligence is invisible. And without visibility, there’s no traffic. And without traffic… there are no results.

Slow loading times, poor HTML structure, missing tags, and poor content: these are all obstacles to your SEO.

A web redesign is the perfect time to integrate a solid SEO foundation from the design stage. With us, this is included in every project.

5. Your website no longer generates enthusiasm

he best test? Open your website. Are you proud of what you see? Do you want to share it? Does it still reflect your personality?

A high-performing website is a strategic and inspiring tool. It must reflect your ambitions, represent you faithfully, and generate engagement.

Take inspiration from our Suitalent project; their website redesign allowed them to regain sales momentum with a new, motivating and credible design.
