Is your website an investment or an anchor?
For many Calgary businesses, a tired, outdated website isn’t just an embarrassment, it’s a silent, 24/7 revenue killer.
If your site hasn’t had a serious update since before the last Stampede, chances are you’re losing customers to competitors with faster, cleaner, and more trustworthy online experiences.
This article isn’t about aesthetics. It’s about ROI. Below, we break down the ten unmistakable signs your website is quietly draining revenue and how a strategic redesign can turn it into your hardest-working salesperson.
Ready to stop the bleeding? See how we approach conversion-focused website design in Calgary.
1. You’re Getting Traffic But No Leads
The Problem
Your analytics show visitors are coming to your site, but nobody’s filling out forms or clicking your “Get a Quote” button.
The Business Cost
Every lost conversion is lost revenue. You’re paying for traffic through ads or SEO, but if people land and leave, your investment goes nowhere.
The Fix
A proper redesign starts with conversion strategy — not just design. At Minerva Marketing, we map out your customer journey and strategically place clear calls-to-action that turn visitors into inquiries. Because a website that looks nice but doesn’t generate leads isn’t working for you.
2. Your Website Feels Slow and Clunky
The Problem
If your website takes longer than three seconds to load, half your visitors are already gone. On mobile, it’s even worse.
The Business Cost
A slow site means fewer leads, fewer sales, and worse Google rankings. Every extra second of load time can lower conversions by up to 7%. That adds up quickly.
The Fix
Our developers optimize for speed and performance with clean code, compressed images, and reliable hosting. A faster website instantly improves user experience, conversions, and SEO.
3. It Looks Outdated or Unprofessional
The Problem
Maybe your business has grown, but your website still looks like it belongs in 2015. The layout’s clunky, the photos are blurry, and it doesn’t reflect the quality you deliver.
The Business Cost
People judge your credibility in seconds. If your website looks outdated, visitors assume your business is too. That first impression can make or break a sale.
The Fix
A redesign gives you a fresh, professional look that matches the quality of your service. We help Calgary businesses update visuals, messaging, and tone so your online presence matches what customers actually experience when they work with you.
4. It Doesn’t Work on Mobile
The Problem
Over 60% of web traffic now comes from phones. If users have to pinch and zoom or scroll endlessly to find information, they’ll leave fast.
The Business Cost
You’re losing potential customers who are literally trying to reach you from their phones. Worse, Google penalizes non-mobile-friendly websites in local search results.
The Fix
We design mobile-first. Every page looks and performs flawlessly on every screen size, ensuring visitors stay engaged and take action whether they’re on a laptop, tablet, or phone.
5. Your Brand Messaging Feels Off or Inconsistent
The Problem
Your business has evolved, but your website still speaks to an older version of who you were. The logo, copy, and tone don’t line up with your current brand or service quality.
The Business Cost
Inconsistent branding erodes trust. Customers feel confused when what they see online doesn’t match your in-person professionalism or service delivery.
The Fix
We align your website’s visuals and messaging with your current brand identity. Every redesign is a chance to clarify what makes you different and build instant credibility with your audience.
6. You Can’t Update Anything Without a Developer
The Problem
Need to change your hours, update a product photo, or post a new service page? If you have to call a developer every time, your marketing grinds to a halt.
The Business Cost
You waste time, money, and momentum. You can’t react quickly to opportunities, new promotions, or seasonal trends.
The Fix
We build on easy-to-manage platforms like WordPress that give you control. You can edit content, add services, or update images without touching a line of code. That means faster marketing, less frustration, and fewer dependencies.
7. Your Website Isn’t Showing Up in Google
The Problem
Even when people search for your exact services in Calgary, you’re nowhere to be found. It’s not that your business isn’t good, it's that your website is just invisible to search engines.
The Business Cost
If you’re not visible, you’re not considered. Every day, potential customers find and choose your competitors simply because their sites are optimized for search.
The Fix
Every Minerva Marketing redesign includes technical SEO: proper metadata, structured content, and fast page speed. We also focus on your local Calgary SEO footprint, helping you rank where it matters most which is in front of customers ready to buy.
8. It Doesn’t Support the Way You Do Business Anymore
The Problem
Your business has grown, but your website hasn’t kept up. You offer new services, serve different industries, or have a bigger team, yet your site still speaks to who you were years ago.
The Business Cost
Your website becomes a roadblock instead of a growth tool. Potential customers don’t see your full capabilities, and existing clients think you’re standing still.
The Fix
We design every site around your business goals and growth trajectory. Whether you’re expanding into new services or scaling operations, your website should evolve alongside you — not hold you back.
9. You’re Missing Modern Features and Tools
The Problem
Your website is a digital brochure — nothing more. No chat support, no booking form, no CRM connection, no email automation.
The Business Cost
You’re losing opportunities to engage and convert visitors in real time. Without the right integrations, you’re also wasting time on manual tasks that could be automated.
The Fix
We integrate modern tools that make your site a real business engine: chatbots, online booking, contact syncing, analytics, and CRM systems. The result is a site that not only attracts customers but helps you close more sales.
10. It Looks Like Everyone Else’s
The Problem
If your website uses the same template, stock photos, and layout as every other Calgary company in your industry, you’re blending in instead of standing out.
The Business Cost
Customers can’t tell the difference between you and the competition. You lose the chance to communicate what makes your business unique and that drives people to choose you.
The Fix
We build custom designs that reflect your company’s identity, values, and unique selling points. No cookie-cutter templates. No generic stock images. Just authentic, conversion-driven design that tells your story better than anyone else.
The Real ROI of a Website Redesign
A redesign is not an expense. It’s an investment that pays for itself many times over. a redesign isn’t just about looking better online. It’s about making more money. A modern, conversion-optimized website becomes your top-performing salesperson that never sleeps, never takes vacations, and consistently converts visitors into revenue.

How to Know It’s Time: Your Quick Reality Check
If you nodded “yes” to three or more of these signs, your current website is costing you money every single day.

- How many potential customers are leaving without taking action?
- How many competitors are ranking above you because their sites perform better?
- How much revenue is slipping through the cracks due to slow speed, poor UX, or outdated messaging?
