A website usually looks cheap for reasons that have nothing to do with the design. It looks cheap when it behaves like nobody is maintaining it: text jumping around while images load, a blurry logo on a phone screen, a contact form that goes quiet after you press send, a grey empty box instead of a preview card when someone shares you, four seconds of blank page on mobile data, a dead link in the footer, and a copyright year that stopped a while back. None of that is a matter of taste. Each one is minutes of work for a developer, and a visitor reads all seven as the same signal: if this is how they keep their own front door, how will they handle your order? The fix is unglamorous. Someone owns the site after launch and walks it on a real phone once a month, in the order a customer would. We would start by finding which of those seven is live on your site right now.
