Why does my website look outdated?
Usually it isn't the design, it's the content: a year in the footer, news from three years ago, an offer past its date. Visitors read that as nobody looking after it anymore. Cleaning up these spots works faster and far cheaper than a new design.

The five most common giveaways
Visitors notice these in this order, and one alone is often enough to change their impression of the whole site:
- Year in the footer
- Latest news item with an old date
- Expired offer or a past event
- Seasonal note outside its season
- Team or contact details that are no longer correct
Content first, then design
A redesign costs weeks and a lot of money. The five points above cost an hour — and they're what creates the impression of neglect. Design is worth it only once the content is right, otherwise the new look ages just as quickly as the old one.
Häufige Fragen
- Do I need a new design?
- Rarely. Check first whether the content is right — that often changes the impression more than new visuals.
- How do I find these spots?
- With a quick look from outside: DustOff reads the visible text and reports what no longer matches today's date.
- Is it enough to fix just one of the five?
- No. Visitors notice whichever one they land on first, so all five are worth a quick pass.
