You wouldn’t leave your front door hanging off the hinges and expect people to walk in. So why settle for a website that’s slow, confusing, or just plain outdated?
We meet business owners all the time who think their website is doing just fine—until we show them what they’re actually leaving on the table. The truth is, a bad website could be quietly draining your business of tens of thousands of dollars (or more) every single year.
Here’s how a bad website is costing you:
1. Lost Leads
Your website should be your #1 salesperson. If your forms don’t work, your CTA is weak, or your mobile site is a mess, you’re losing potential customers by the minute.
Let’s say you miss just 2 solid leads a week because your website isn’t up to par. That’s over 100 leads a year. If even half of those could’ve turned into $5,000+ sales, you’re talking $250,000 lost. That’s not small change.
2. Poor First Impressions
You’ve got 3–5 seconds to impress a visitor. A slow load time or an outdated look instantly creates mistrust.
According to Stanford research, 75% of users judge a company’s credibility based on its website design. If your site looks like it hasn’t been updated since 2011, you might be telling customers: “We don’t care.”
3. Low Search Rankings
A poorly structured site with outdated SEO practices is like opening a shop in the middle of the desert—no one’s going to find you.
A modern website built with SEO in mind can help you climb local and national search results, driving organic traffic month after month without paying for every single click.
4. High Bounce Rates = Wasted Ad Spend
You’re running Google Ads or Facebook campaigns? Great. But if people click through to a clunky landing page that doesn’t convert, you might as well light that budget on fire.
We’ve seen companies spend $2,000+ a month on ads—only to get minimal ROI because the site isn’t built to convert.
5. Missed Opportunities for Automation & Efficiency
A good website can reduce customer service calls, automate scheduling, process orders, deliver content, and nurture leads. A bad website? It just sits there.
Your site should be working while you sleep. If it’s not, you’re paying in time and labor elsewhere.
