5 signs that your website is no longer in line with your brand
A website doesn't have to be out of date to be wrong. This article zooms in on the subtle but crucial signs that your brand needs a different digital translation.
5 signs that your website is no longer in line with your brand
A well-functioning website is generally a given these days. Responsive, fast and technically solid. But that doesn't mean that your website also matches your brand. The real question is: does your website support who you are as a brand now and where you want to go?
Do you recognize any of the following five signs? Then maybe it's time to reposition your website and it's time to do a to have a website recreated.
1. Your brand story has changed, but your website tells the old story
You've sharpened your strategy. New propositions, new tone-of-voice, maybe even a new target group. But on your website, you still sound like 'the old you'. The mismatch between positioning and presentation causes confusion. Not because the site isn't pretty — but because it's no longer accurate.
2. The content matches your ambition
You want to be seen as a specialist, but your site barely has room for vision, cases or content. Or you want to attract more high-end customers, but the site still looks 'fast & affordable'. These are not design errors — but are a sign that your site is no longer representing you properly and your website will also no longer provide the right leads.
3. Your brand lives offline, but not online
You have a strong visual identity. This is reflected in your presentations, prints or exhibition stand. But the online experience is missing. Your website feels like a separate entity rather than an integrated brand platform. That undermines your brand consistency. Your website is no longer in line with your brand book.
4. You notice internal friction when using your site
Colleagues hardly use the site for sales or onboarding. They prefer to refer to a PDF or make presentations themselves. That is a clear signal: the website is not seen as a powerful brand tool, but as a standalone “sign”.
5. Your website no longer facilitates growth
Your organization is growing — new products, multiple markets, more languages, or integrations. But your website is not designed for that. You run into limitations in CMS structure, flexibility or content management. Your site blocks your development instead of supporting it.
