Free, no email required Does your website need rebuilding, or just redesigning?
Seven questions. The answer is sometimes that you should not start a project yet, and that is a real possible outcome here, not a rhetorical one.
01 When was the site last rebuilt? Within two years Two to five years ago More than five years ago I genuinely do not know
02 Has what you sell, or who you sell it to, changed since then? No, broadly the same Somewhat - new services or markets Yes, substantially
03 Can people find what they came for? Yes, the routes are clear Mostly, but the good material is buried No - we are asked the same questions constantly
04 Does the site explain what you do as well as you do in a meeting? Yes Not really - it is vaguer than we are No - people misunderstand us from it
05 How does it look beside the people you compete with? Comparable or better Dated but functional Noticeably behind
06 Can your team update it without help? Yes, comfortably In theory, but nobody does No - every change is a request
07 Internally, is there agreement on what the project is for? Yes, it is agreed Roughly, but not written down No - different people want different things
0 of 7 answered. The read appears once all seven are done.
What “restructure” actually means.
It is the most common recommendation here and the hardest to picture, because nothing about it shows up in a mockup.

Illustrative, not a real client’s sitemap. The pattern, though, is the common one: nothing here was deleted, it was merged and renamed around what people arrive wanting to do.
