A new website when the old one stopped working

You need a new website when the old one has stopped bringing work in: it is slow on a phone, the prices are wrong, and nobody can book without ringing you. Age is not the problem. Not earning is.

The good news is that replacing it is far less work than building the first one. You already know what you sell and what it costs, and your existing pages can be read in as a starting point rather than typed out again.

Six signs it is time for a new website

The menu misbehaves on a phone. The opening hours are last year's. The price list is a PDF. Contact means a form that goes to an address nobody checks. You cannot change a word without asking someone. And nothing on the site can take a booking.

If three of those are true, the site is costing you more than it saves. A driving school whose site still shows last winter's rates is not being frugal; it is quietly turning learners away.

How the change actually happens

You paste the address of your current site or describe the business in a couple of sentences. The new pages are written out for you: a service menu with prices, opening hours, an FAQ and booking.

Then you go through it. Anything you disagree with has a pencil next to it, so you fix the tone, correct a price, remove a service you stopped offering. When it reads right, you publish. Often that happens the same day.

Your old content is not wasted

Text you spent an evening writing three years ago is still your text. It comes across as a starting point, so a dog groomer keeps the breed notes and the honest paragraph about nervous dogs and only rewrites what has actually changed.

What does not come across is the old structure, which is usually the thing that was holding you back. Each service ends up on its own page with its own heading, which is what search engines can work with.

The new one is looked after for you

Part of what makes a site feel old is nobody maintaining it. Managed hosting is in every plan: we run the servers, apply updates and close security holes, and you install nothing at all.

HTTPS certificates are issued and renewed automatically, so the padlock does not lapse on a Saturday. Backups run nightly and the restore is tested nightly, which is how you know the copies would actually open. There are no plugins to age.

When you do not need a new website

If your current site loads quickly, reads well on a phone, shows correct prices and lets people book, keep it. Replacing a working site because it looks a bit dated is spending money on a feeling.

And if the only thing missing is booking, ask your current provider what that would cost first. We would rather you did the comparison honestly than switch on a hunch and regret it in a month.

A new site is worth it when the old one stops paying its way, not when it turns three.

Getting a new website: common questions

Frequently the same day. The pages are written from your description or your old address, you review and edit them, and publishing is one button. Connecting a domain adds a short DNS wait.

No. Your existing text can be read in and used as the starting point, so you edit rather than retype. Anything you no longer offer, you simply delete before publishing.

Yes, and you should. The domain stays registered to you, we show which DNS records to point here, and your email keeps working with its current provider throughout.

From Lite at €49 to Pro at €199, with hosting, HTTPS, backups and support in all of them. Yearly payment takes 20% off and prices are excluding VAT.

Each service gets its own page with real headings and text, which usually helps rather than hurts. Keeping the same domain matters most, and that is exactly what we recommend.

The trial is 14 days, needs no card and does not touch your live site until you point the domain. If you walk away, your old site is still there, untouched.
