Is it possible to change the look of a website, I think mine looks a bit tired and would like it to look more modern or do I have to have a new site designed.

Hey,

If it's the link in your profile then it maybe more cost-effective and get a better result to design a new site built on a content management system (ie Wordpress). This doesn't have to be a big custom built website and can be done to any budget within reason depending upon what you're looking for.

There's been a big change in how people use websites over the past few years (mobiles / tablets etc) so would be good to keep that in mind when thinking of a new or redesigned site. This is best done from the start and is difficult to add to an existing site easily,

Let me know if you'd like a quote for a new Wordpress site,

Russ

I think a decent Wordpress dev could change your world, your site whilst factually great looks very dated. It probably makes you look smaller than you actually are.
Invest in it / you’ll benefit.

You’ve got the content sorted pretty much, wordpress and a decent theme then migrate the content over to the new site

We’d take a look for you.

What russ says above is accurate too

I'd say use one of those small business site things like Wix or square space.

If the WordPress route then buy a theme of envato

None of the above answers are wrong - but they focus on the solution...
instead - take the opportunity to look at why you have a website / how it supports or helps grow your business
look at who is coming to the website (or who you would like to come) / what you want to happen for them (find a contact number / go through a sales process / encourage them to make contact / see your credibility / etc.)
Make sure that the website is built to make the above work...

There are lots of technical solutions - but there will be one right business solution - get the business solution first - then find the technology to fix it...

Good answers to a question he didn't ask.

The answer to both questions is of course "yes".
