A good website can win you customers. A bad one can lose them before you even know they were interested. Here are five common mistakes small businesses make on their websites—and how you can avoid falling into the same traps.
1. Slow Load Times Visitors won’t wait more than a few seconds for a site to load. A slow website hurts your SEO and makes users bounce. Make sure your images are optimized, avoid excessive animations, and use clean code. Our team prioritizes speed from day one.
2. Not Mobile-Friendly Over 50% of web traffic comes from mobile devices. If your site looks off or is hard to navigate on a phone, you’re losing potential clients. We use responsive design to ensure your website works beautifully on all screen sizes.
3. Weak Call to Action (CTA) Your website should guide visitors toward an action: booking a service, sending a message, or signing up. Without clear CTAs, people don’t know what to do next. We make your site user-friendly with simple, effective CTAs in the right spots.
4. Outdated Design A dated site design can hurt your brand’s credibility. Users may assume your business is equally outdated. We help you modernize without losing your identity.
5. No Maintenance Plan Websites need updates and fixes. Without a maintenance plan, issues pile up: broken links, security risks, and outdated content. We include maintenance to keep everything running smoothly.
Final Thoughts Avoiding these common mistakes can instantly improve how your customers see you. Want help fixing any of these? Let’s talk.
