🌐There are a lot of things to think about when it comes to running your business. Stressing about keeping your website up to date shouldn’t be one of them.
Your website plays a crucial role in the success of your business. It generates leads, customers, and revenue.
It’s how customers find and connect with you. But, just like any software, websites require maintenance to keep them working properly.
Website problems come in all shapes and sizes, but they usually fall into one of three categories: user experience (UX) issues, content issues, and problems with the design or build itself.
Let’s talk about common signs of a bad website – and how to fix these web design mistakes.
UX Issues:
👉🏻Too many menus or options
👉🏻Unclear path to important info
👉🏻Rabbit hole navigation
👉🏻404 Page is a dead end
👉🏻Links leave your site behind
👉🏻Too many callouts or intrusions
👉🏻Unclear words on buttons and menus
Content Issues:
❌Unclear purpose
❌Off-brand messaging
❌Poor visual content
❌No audience segmentation
❌Trying for two primary audiences
❌Not about the customer
❌Incorrect and ignored optimization
Design/Build Issues:

If you can say yes to three or more of the points on this list, there’s a good chance you’ve got a bad website.
But truth be told hitting even one of these points can be enough to drive a potential customer away.
