Your website could be costing you sales—and you might not even realize it.

The truth is, most websites don’t fail because the owner doesn’t care. They fail because of a few simple but damaging mistakes that turn potential clients away.

Here are some of the biggest culprits (and how you can fix them today).

If your site doesn’t guide visitors to a next step, they’ll leave.

Your homepage, about page, and even your blog posts should all have one main action you want people to take—whether that’s signing up for a freebie, booking a call, or shopping your offer.

Too much text, too many fonts, or a messy layout will overwhelm visitors.

Your design should guide the eye, not confuse it. Stick to clean branding, plenty of white space, and a clear flow from top to bottom.

More than half of your traffic is probably coming from phones. If your site looks great on desktop but breaks on mobile, that’s a problem.

Always preview your site on mobile and make sure buttons, text, and images are easy to use.

People want to see proof that your business is trustworthy.

Even one testimonial, case study, or screenshot of a happy client goes a long way. Add this to your homepage and product pages.

Nobody has patience for a slow site. If your page takes forever to load, people will bounce.

Systeme.io sites are optimized to be lightweight and fast—one reason I recommend them for beginners and growing businesses.

The good news? These mistakes are easy to fix.

A website that’s simple, mobile-friendly, and funnel-focused will always convert better than one that’s “pretty but pointless.”
