Are You Secretly Embarrassed by Your Website? Or worse… should you be?

Let’s be honest. Some business owners have websites that should come with a warning label. But here’s the funny part — they don’t even know it.
They’re out there networking, handing out business cards, maybe even running ads, all while sending people to a site that’s outdated, confusing, or just plain awkward.
So, why aren’t more people embarrassed by their websites?
Because they don’t know what they don’t know.
Most of the time, it’s not laziness. It’s not that they don’t care. It’s that no one’s ever told them how much a weak website is costing them — in leads, credibility, and trust.
If any of this hits a little close to home, keep reading. Here’s a quick gut-check:
1. Is it clear what you do within the first 5 seconds?
If I land on your homepage, do I immediately know what you offer, who it’s for, and why it matters? Or do I have to scroll and guess?
2. Does your site look like it was built in the last 3 years?
Design trends shift. A modern site doesn’t mean flashy — it means clean, focused, and intentional. Think less chaos, more clarity.
3. Is your content doing any heavy lifting?
Your words should work for you — attracting, educating, and converting. If your site just “exists,” it’s dead weight.
4. Is there a clear next step?
If people like what they see, do they know what to do next? Are you guiding them with calls to action or leaving them in the dark?
5. Do you avoid looking at your own site?
Be honest. If your site feels cringey or outdated, you’re probably not sharing it often. That’s a sign.
Here’s the thing: your website doesn’t have to be perfect. But it does need to represent you well. It should feel like an extension of your brand — confident, clear, and aligned with your goals.
