Genuinely curious how other small business owners think about this.
I'm a designer and recently worked with a YC backed startup that needed to go live in under 24 hours for a launch deadline. No time for endless revisions, just had to ship something clean that worked. It went fine, the site's converting, they're happy.
But it got me wondering: how many small businesses are sitting on "we need to redo our website" for months because it feels overwhelming? Like you know your current site is probably costing you customers (slow load times, outdated info, looks sketchy on mobile) but the idea of doing it "right" keeps you stuck in analysis paralysis.
For those of you who've been through this—did you eventually just rip the band-aid off and launch something simple? Or did waiting and planning it out properly end up being worth it?
Asking because I'm trying to understand the small business perspective better. In my experience, speed usually wins over perfection, but curious if that tracks for you all too.
(Also if anyone's been putting off a site refresh and just wants to get something live this week, happy to chat, but genuinely here for the discussion either way.)
