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:

  1. No clear call-to-action above the fold — visitors don't know what to do next
  2. Slow load time on mobile — especially painful for stores with unoptimized images
  3. Broken trust signals — missing SSL, no reviews, no "About" page with real faces
  4. Checkout friction — too many steps, no guest checkout option
  5. 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.
