5 Web Design Mistakes That Cost You Customers
Your website is often the first impression of your business. These five mistakes are the most common reasons visitors leave.
1. Not mobile friendly
Most visitors browse on phones. A desktop‑only layout frustrates them.
Fix: Use a responsive design and test every page on a phone.
2. Slow loading pages
Large images and heavy plugins make pages crawl.
Fix: Compress images, remove unused plugins and use quality hosting.
3. No clear call to action
Visitors don't know what to do next.
Fix: Add one clear button per page — call, book or enquire.
4. Cluttered layout
Too much going on hides your key message.
Fix: Use white space, short headings and fewer, stronger images.
5. Hard‑to‑find contact details
If customers can't reach you, they go elsewhere.
Fix: Put your phone number and email in the header and footer.
