Why you hate your website, and how we guarantee you won’t with us
When your website project fell short, that was frustrating, right? It’s been costing you customers, but you aren’t quite sure why. You’ve poured time, money, and energy into something that should be a powerful asset, but instead, it feels like a liability. You’ve watched competitors with sleek, effective websites pull ahead, while yours languishes, failing to capture the attention of your target audience.
You are not alone! Many business owners harbour a deep-seated dislike for their own websites! Ick! Eek! It’s that sinking feeling when you see a potential client navigating your site, only to click away in frustration.
The nagging doubt that your online presence is undermining your hard-earned reputation. And the realisation that your website, far from being a lead generator, is actively repelling potential customers.
This is something we’ve never wanted our clients to feel and that’s why we created a process that prevents this nasty feeling! At TLD, we don’t just create websites; we build online experiences that resonate. And we guarantee you won’t hate it.
Why you’re feeling disillusioned
What is the root cause of this dislike? It’s more than just a matter of aesthetics. It’s about the feeling of disconnect, the sense that your website isn’t working for you, but against you. It’s the constant worry that you’re missing out on opportunities, that your online presence isn’t reflecting the true value of your business.
You’ve probably asked yourself: “Why isn’t my website generating leads?” or “Why does it feel so outdated?” or even, “Why doesn’t it just feel right?” These questions point to deeper issues: a lack of strategic planning, poor communication, and a failure to understand your specific needs and audience. You’ve likely experienced the frustration of investing in a website that promised results but delivered only disappointment. You’re left feeling disillusioned, wondering if a truly effective website is even possible.
Here’s a breakdown – I’ve put this into two sections – the “result” as in where things are with your website, and then after that, the process you went through and how this too will have influenced your feelings about your website now.
Where you are now:

3. Your website is not mobile-friendly

The process:
I’ve gone through the “practical” things about your feelings NOW, but if you look back to the time you had the project done, then these are the reasons that planted those nasty feelings.
1. You felt unassured and uncared for
Why you hated it: This was the equivalent of being left on hold indefinitely. You sent emails into the void, waited weeks for responses, and felt like just another number. The lack of reliable support and proactive advice left you feeling abandoned and unsure if you’d made the right investment.
How we guarantee you won’t: At TLD, we’ve built our reputation on reliability and responsiveness. With 13 years of experience and a multitude of happy clients, we’ve proven our commitment. Our team is accessible, quick to respond, and dedicated to providing proactive, useful advice. We understand that reassurance is paramount, and we’re here to provide it.
2. You sensed a lack of passion and quality
Why you hated it: Your website felt like a rushed job, a checklist item rather than a passion project. It lacked the polish and attention to detail that you expected. There was a sneaking suspicion that the team working on it wasn’t truly invested in its success.
How we guarantee you won’t: We’re driven by a genuine desire to produce exceptional work. Our portfolio is a testament to our commitment to quality. We want you to be proud of your website, and we’re just as invested in its success as you are. Our team takes immense pride in their work, ensuring every detail reflects our high standards.
3. You were disappointed by lacklustre design and functionality
Why you hated it: The designs were uninspired, the user experience is clunky, and the site simply didn’t (and still doesn’t) reflect your brand’s essence.
The vision you had in mind was lost in translation, and the final product was a far cry from what you imagined!
How we guarantee you won’t: Our designers and coders are at the top of their game. We begin with comprehensive briefing sessions to understand your needs and vision. We present stunning, bespoke designs, taking into account your feedback and offering multiple options. Our coders then bring these designs to life, ensuring they are functional, accessible, fast, and user-friendly.
4. You felt undervalued and overcharged
Why you hated it: You felt like you’d been overcharged for a mediocre product. You suspected that your project was treated as just another revenue stream, with little regard for your specific needs or expectations.
How we guarantee you won’t: We’re accustomed to working with clients who have high expectations. We’re value-driven, ensuring that every penny you invest translates into tangible results. We manage expectations transparently and strive to deliver value that exceeds your investment.
5. You were frustrated by inefficiency and outdated technology
Why you hated it: Your website felt outdated and slow, hindering your efficiency. You suspected that the technology used was outdated, and the processes were inefficient, leading to unnecessary delays and frustrations.
How we guarantee you won’t: We stay ahead of the curve, constantly exploring new technologies and time-saving tools. We implement creative solutions to enhance interactivity, updatability, and overall efficiency, ensuring your website is both modern and effective.
6. You were dissatisfied with poor design and usability

How we guarantee you won’t: We prioritise design and usability. Our technical team works closely with experienced designers and project managers to ensure the final product aligns with your expectations and delivers a seamless user experience. We build websites that are both beautiful and functional.
7. You felt left in the dark
Why you hated it: You were kept out of the loop, unsure of the project’s progress. Communication was sporadic, leaving you feeling anxious and uninformed.
How we guarantee you won’t: We follow a tried-and-tested design and creation process, keeping you informed at every stage. We communicate proactively, ensuring you’re always aware of the project’s status. Our project management is meticulous, balancing organisation with flexibility to accommodate your day-to-day needs.
8. You felt pressured and unheard
Why you hated it: You felt pressured into making decisions you weren’t comfortable with. Your feedback was dismissed, and you felt like your concerns were ignored.
