When a Website Does Not Need a Full Rebuild
by Oliver Havis, Developer
A full website rebuild is expensive, disruptive, and often unnecessary.
In many cases, the issues I see come down to:
- Slow loading times
- Confusing navigation
- Outdated content
- Broken forms or tracking
None of these automatically require starting from scratch.
Before Recommending a Rebuild
Before recommending a rebuild, I look at:
- Whether the site structure still makes sense
- If performance issues can be fixed
- Whether the CMS is still viable
- How much content would need rewriting
Sometimes the Best Solution Is Simpler
Sometimes the best solution is:
- Improving page speed
- Simplifying the navigation
- Fixing the contact flow
- Cleaning up the backend
A rebuild should solve a specific problem, not just make things look newer.
Not Sure What You Need?
