Poor Communication

When people go to a homepage, they should instantly know who you are and what you do. Clearly show how your products and services can help others.

Confusing Navigation

Design your small business website around customer needs and ensure it is user-friendly. People will leave if they don’t find what they’re looking for after about three clicks.

An Unclear Call-to-Action

A website must clearly guide a visitor to take a specific action. Have a simple and understandable CTA.

Numerous Elements

A website with too many elements leads to clutter and confusion. Offer a clear and simple browsing experience.

Poor Mobile Responsiveness

More than 50% of online traffic comes from mobile devices. Make sure your small business website is mobile-friendly.

Website Load Speed

A website that takes over 3 seconds to appear is instantly hit with a 32% bounce rate. People don’t want to wait for a page to load.

Overuse of Content

A website with too much content will drive visitors away. Separate text into smaller chunks. Use headlines and images to separate content sections. Make use of white space.

No Defined Target Audience

A good website meets the needs and preferences of potential customers. Know who your audience is and what they want.
