5 Website Missteps We See All Too Often

You're dreaming about being booked and busy. You see a vision for your business in 3 years, 5 years, 10 years. You have a plan. Now you need a website that supports your dreams!


One of the worst mistakes you can make when it comes to your online presence is building your website without a plan, based on what you think looks good.


If you want your website to perform, avoid these website missteps:

#1: Choosing the Wrong Platform
Don’t waste time trying to pick the right platform for your business. Many DIYers spend hours researching, only to end up on platforms that are either too complicated or too basic. We’ve already done the homework for you! With our templates, you’re guaranteed a user-friendly and reliable platform that works seamlessly, so you can dive straight into creating your site—no guesswork required.


#2: Overcomplicating the Design
Designing your website doesn’t have to feel like rocket science! If you’re spending more time fighting with clunky design tools than actually building, you're doing it wrong. Our templates are crafted with user experience in mind, meaning they’re simple to use and look great. Avoid confusing layouts and endless customization—just plug in your branding and content, and you’re ready to go!


#3: Ignoring Mobile Responsiveness
A common DIY mistake is forgetting about mobile optimization. Don’t be the business with a site that looks broken on a phone. With our templates, you won’t need to worry about how your site looks on different devices. We’ve taken care of mobile responsiveness, so your site will look polished on every screen—from desktops to smartphones.


#4: Neglecting SEO
DIY websites often miss the mark with SEO, leaving them buried in search results. Don’t let that be you! While SEO can feel overwhelming, our templates come preloaded with the best SEO practices. Plus, we provide an easy-to-follow guide to help you improve your search ranking—no extra cost or hassle.


#5: Struggling with Hosting and Domain Setup
Connecting your domain to hosting can quickly turn into a tech nightmare for DIYers. Don’t get stuck in the weeds. We make the process seamless by handling the backend setup for you. Our free Zoom session ensures you’re up and running without the headaches.


Avoid these common DIY pitfalls and let our templates do the heavy lifting. With a professional design, SEO features, and a mobile-responsive layout, you’ll have a stunning website without the stress. Get started today and launch your dream site effortlessly!
