5 Signs Your Website Is Losing You Customers

You have a website, but the enquiries aren't coming? The problem is often a few small things that push customers away before they ever message you.

1. It loads slowly

If your site takes more than three seconds to open, a big share of visitors leave before they see anything. A slow site is like a locked shop door during opening hours.

2. It looks bad on a phone

More than half your visitors are on mobile. If they have to pinch to read the text or the buttons are too small to tap, you lose them instantly.

Quick test: open your own site on your phone. Within 5 seconds, can you see what you offer and tap "call" without zooming? If not, that's costing you customers.

3. It's not clear what you do

Visitors decide in seconds. If the first screen doesn't clearly say what you do and who it's for, people leave. A pretty design with no clear message brings no enquiries.

4. You're hard to contact

A buried phone number, a form with ten fields, no click-to-call button. Every extra step loses customers. Getting in touch should be one click away.

5. It looks abandoned

Dated design, broken links, photos from 2015. It all suggests the business may not even be running anymore. A fresh look alone builds trust.

The good news

Every one of these is fixable. A modern, fast site that looks great on mobile and guides visitors to get in touch — that's the difference between a digital business card and a site that actually brings customers. That's exactly what we build at WebReady.
