5 mistakes I see on small business websites that silently kill conversions
After working on dozens of ecommerce and business websites, these are the most common issues I keep running into:
- No clear call-to-action above the fold — visitors don't know what to do next
- Slow load time on mobile — especially painful for stores with unoptimized images
- Broken trust signals — missing SSL, no reviews, no "About" page with real faces
- Checkout friction — too many steps, no guest checkout option
- Generic stock photos — people can smell them from a mile away
Most of these are cheap or free to fix, yet they're on 90% of the sites I audit.
Anyone else notice patterns like these? Curious what issues you've run into with your own site.
