In 2026 having a professional website for your business is a must. How your customers view your brand online is massively important to your businesses success. Do you have a website that your proud of? Is it easy to navigate on your phone, tablet and desktop? Can your customers find your business? Is your business information attracting new customers? When you look at your website, would you hire yourself or purchase a product from your website? The answer should be yes. Unfortunately the sad truth is most business owners (especially startups) don’t have the time to allocate or know how to create and maintain a website properly.

We often see small businesses & startups setup cheap websites that hurt their brand. Unknowingly, wasting time (20-40+ hrs) and money ($30-$100/mo) setting it up. They use cookie cutter templates or their cousin “who did it for free” set it up and now its abandoned and stagnant. You hope and pray your customers start flooding in. Never leveraging the powerful tool(s) that your website could potentially be. Unfortunately many of these websites and businesses fail because of a lack of structure and professional communication. Your website should be professionally selling your service or product 24/7. Do you care about your businesses image or longevity? Of course you do. Don’t be left in the dust!

At the end of the day most business owners are not web-masters, copy writers or photographers/videographers, and that’s okay! It’s understandable your usually juggling a zillion tasks with a lack of sleep, a team, and a family waiting at home for you.

When should a business rebrand their logo? Typically most designers recommend every 3-5 years making minor to major updates to an existing logo. This really depends on a few factors.

How outdated does the logo look?
Has the company changed significantly in the last 3 to 5 years?
How’s the legibility printed at small sizes or on mobile phones?

Logo design for new business

One of the biggest mistakes companies make starting out is a lack of investment in their initial logo design. They want to rush to market to test their product or service without understanding the possible longevity of the company.

First Steps (startup advice)

We often recommend starting with mono chromatic or black and white logo design. The more simple the better. Avoid adding unnecessary taglines that bottleneck growth and development. A good example of this would Lisa’s Haircuts, we’ll if Lisa also specializes in coloring, extensions, and custom nails. Having “haircuts” in the business name is not as concise as Lisa’s Hair Salon.
