5 Silent Killers Hiding in Your Website

1. It’s Designed for You, Not Your Customer

Most websites lead with “we” statements. But your customer doesn’t care (yet). They want to know: Can you solve my problem?

Common issues:

• Your homepage talks about you, not what your customer gets
• It’s heavy on buzzwords, light on clarity
• Calls-to-action are vague (“Get in touch”) or missing altogether

Fix:
Flip the script.
Lead with your customer’s pain. Use plain language. And give them one clear, helpful next step.

‍

2. It’s Not Built to Convert

A pretty site is pointless if it doesn’t convert. And most SMB sites don’t.

Common issues:

• No lead magnet or value exchange
• Contact forms ask for too much too soon
• Navigation is cluttered or confusing
• No testimonials, case studies, or reviews

Fix:
Make conversion effortless. Add a low-friction CTA like “Get a free quote” or “See pricing in 60 seconds.” And sprinkle in proof — reviews, results, logos — wherever possible.

3. It’s Not Mobile-Friendly (And That’s a Dealbreaker)

Mobile isn’t optional — it’s the default.

Common issues:

• Text overlaps or buttons don’t work
• Site takes forever to load on 4G
• Mobile visitors bounce immediately

Fix:
Design mobile-first. Check your site on every device. Prioritize performance.

‍

4. It’s Slow, Unsecure, or Outdated

Your site might be silently killing conversions without you knowing.

Common issues:

• Load speed is 4+ seconds
• SSL certificate is missing = browser warnings
• Old tech, outdated themes, broken pages

Fix:
Use modern tools. Webflow, performance-first hosting, compressed images, and clean code — they all matter.

5. You Built It Once and Never Touched It Again

Google wants fresh, relevant content. So do your users.

Common issues:

• No blog = missed SEO opportunity
• No content updates = looks inactive
• No tracking = flying blind

Fix:
Keep the content coming. A blog helps with SEO, builds authority, and shows you’re alive. Even one post a month makes a difference.

Ready for a Website That Pulls Its Weight?

If your site checks any of those boxes, you’re not alone. Most SMBs don’t have the time or tools to fix it.

That’s where we come in.
