10 Website Mistakes That Are Costing You Clients (and How to Fix Them Like a Pro)

Your website is your digital storefront. And just like a brick-and-mortar shop, if it’s messy, confusing, or slow - people won’t stick around. Whether you built your site yourself or hired someone to do it, there could be hidden issues quietly scaring potential customers away.

Here are 10 common website mistakes I see all the time - and how to fix them (or have me fix them 👀).


✅ The 10 Mistakes (with solutions):

  1. Your homepage doesn’t pass the 5-second testFix: Make sure people can instantly understand who you are, what you do, and how you can help.

  2. Slow loading speedFix: Compress images, use fewer plugins, and check performance in tools like GTmetrix.

  3. Too much text, not enough hierarchyFix: Use headings, bolding, and spacing to guide the eye. Less is more.

  4. Unclear call-to-action (CTA)Fix: Every page should have a goal. Lead your visitor there clearly.

  5. Not optimized for mobileFix: Preview your site on multiple devices or use responsive builders like Wix Editor X.

  6. Broken links or outdated contentFix: Set a reminder to check your site monthly. No one wants to land on a 404.

  7. No SEO basics in placeFix: Add page titles, meta descriptions, image alt tags, and keyword-rich copy.

  8. No lead captureFix: Add a freebie, newsletter signup, or contact form to collect emails and build your list.

  9. Overcomplicated navigationFix: Keep your menu simple. No more than 5–6 top-level links max.

  10. Generic brandingFix: Use a consistent color palette, clear messaging, and images that reflect your vibe.

If you spotted more than 3 of these issues on your site - don’t panic. These are fixable (and honestly, super common). If you're ready to elevate your online presence and make your site work for you, I’d love to help.
