Let’s be brutally honest.
Is your website working for you… or against you?
You might love how it looks. Maybe you even bragged when it first launched—“Hey, check out our brand new website!”
But here’s the uncomfortable truth:
Most websites aren’t selling. They’re just expensive digital business cards.
No conversions. No leads. Just crickets.
After nearly two decades building and fixing websites for 6- and 7-figure businesses, we’ve seen it all—gorgeous sites that don’t convert and clunky ones that rake in leads.
So, what separates the two?
Here are 5 of the biggest mistakes that silently sabotage your website’s ability to sell:
1. No Clear Call to Action
If someone lands on your site and their first thought is “Cool… now what?” — you’ve already lost them.
Visitors need an obvious, singular next step. If you’re offering too many options or burying your CTA, you’re confusing them—and confused people don’t convert.
2. Your Website Talks About You—Not Them
If the first thing people read is how long you’ve been in business, you’ve missed the mark.
Website visitors don’t come to celebrate your anniversary. They come looking for a solution to their problem. If your messaging doesn’t make them feel understood immediately, they’re out.
Your website is not the Cheesecake Factory menu.
When you overload visitors with too many links and options, you stall decision-making. The more time they spend hunting for the right click, the more likely they are to bounce altogether.
4. Slow and Clunky on Mobile
Over 50% of website traffic is mobile. If your site loads slowly or feels janky on a phone, you’re losing leads before the page even finishes rendering.
Speed and smooth mobile usability aren’t optional anymore—they’re the minimum bar.
5. No Trust Signals
No testimonials. No reviews. No recognizable logos or client names. Just a floating “Trust us!”
That doesn’t fly online. Without proof, visitors won’t take action. Trust must be earned and shown—not assumed.
Here’s the Real Cost
The real cost of your website isn’t what you paid to build it.
It’s the sales you’re losing every single day.
Every bounce = a lost customer.
Every unclear button = a missed opportunity.
Every second of load time = money slipping away.
And if you’re running ads? It’s even worse. You’re literally paying to send people to a site that doesn’t convert.
