5 Website Mistakes That Turn Customers Away

Updated: May 22

...and how to fix them fast



You don’t need a complicated website — just one that works.

That means when someone visits your site, they instantly know:


Who you are

What you do

What to do next


Here are 5 common mistakes that could be turning visitors away — and how to fix them easily.



Mistake #1: No Clear Headline

Why it matters:

If your homepage doesn’t quickly explain who you are and what you do, visitors click away. They don’t have time to guess.


✅ Quick Fix:

Use a clear headline that says what you do and who you help.

Example:


"Reliable Plumbing Services for Homes and Businesses in Christchurch"


Mistake #2: No Clear Call to Action (CTA)


Why it matters:

If your visitor doesn’t know what to do next, they won’t do anything.


✅ Quick Fix:

Use one strong CTA and repeat it throughout your site.

Examples:


“Book a Free Call”

“Order Online”

“Get a Free Quote”


Mistake #3: Overcomplicated or Confusing Layout

Why it matters:

A cluttered layout overwhelms people. If they can’t find what they need, they leave.


✅ Quick Fix:

Stick to a clean, simple design. Use short sentences, lots of white space, and clear buttons. Your site should feel easy — not busy.


Mistake #4: No Real Photos or Social Proof


Why it matters:

Stock photos and vague promises don’t build trust. People want to see the real business behind the screen.


✅ Quick Fix:

Use real images of you, your team, or your work.

Add 1–2 short customer reviews or Google ratings.


Mistake #5: Not Mobile-Friendly

Why it matters:

More than half your visitors will check your site from their phone. If it looks broken, loads slowly, or text is too small — you lose trust fast.


✅ Quick Fix:

Test your site on your phone. Make sure buttons are tappable, text is readable, and images scale correctly. All EcoWeb websites are mobile-friendly by default.


P.S - There is no such a thing as a perfect website — just one that’s clear, trustworthy, and easy to use. A few small changes can make a big difference in how people perceive your business.
