Knowing What’s Working

A Redesign Is a Heart Transplant, Not a Paint Job

A business runs a site for four years, quietly accumulating rankings and organic enquiries. Then it launches a beautiful new website — and the enquiries stop.

Existing customers spend 67% more, cost 5–25× less to reach — and leave mostly because of silence, not price: 68% of churn is perceived indifference, under 10% is pricing.
