5 Website Mistakes That Kill Sales (and How to Fix Them)

5 Website Mistakes That Kill Sales (and How to Fix Them)

A South Bay boutique owner couldn’t figure out why her sales were flat despite steady website traffic. The culprit? A handful of small but deadly website mistakes.

Mistake 1: Slow Load Times

If your site takes more than three seconds to load, you’re losing visitors.

Mistake 2: No Clear Next Step

If visitors can’t figure out what to do next, they’ll leave. Add clear buttons to “Shop Now” or “Contact Us.”

Mistake 3: Outdated Design

An outdated design can make your business look inactive — covered in How Website Design Affects Whether People Trust You.

Mistake 4: Weak Mobile Experience

Over half of web traffic is mobile — test your site on phones and tablets.

Mistake 5: Buried Contact Information

Contact info should be in your header, footer, and a dedicated page.
