Top mistakes in creating a website.

A website is the first sale to your customer.

Mistakes are fatal towards sales and traffic.

Don’t do this…

Rushing.

The excitement of a new business idea can be enticing but rushing can lead to its failure.

Calm down a bit, the idea may be great but by taking your time and planning everything out, chances of success double.

To avoid excitement spend time researching the niche.

Failing to plan is planning to fail.

Valuable knowledge is always out there.

Spend every available minute to keep researching. When speaking with anyone in your niche, being the most knowledgable is important. A customer being more intelligent about a certain topic is fatal towards a reputation.

Purchase books, talk to knowledgable people, read blogs and articles.

Advertisements and pop ups.

Maybe ad clicks offer a decent income. Pop ups are working well.

Abusing ads loses customers that can be worth more than a click, these make your site look tacky or drive traffic away.

Rather use advertisements to drive traffic towards your business. Purchase web space and take advantage of keywords.

Design flaws.

The flow in web design is vital. Customers should be able to drive through the site as if it is a road.

One page should lead to another and navigation must be simple enough for the elderly or young.

A purchase needs to be available within three clicks.

Simple design techniques will lead to a rise in users time spent on the site.

SEO.

Site engine optimization is great and can drive countless traffic when done correctly.

Do not be so distracted about driving traffic that your content loses value.

Practice SEO with online tutorials, books etc.

Take advantage of an opportunity to gain sales, become a master at marketing.
