10 Common Website Design and Development Mistakes That Hurt Performance — and How to Avoid Them

Have you fallen for an inefficient website? It's time to get out of it

Building an effective and effective website is an art in itself. It's not enough just to make the site look good - it also needs to function optimally, provide a great user experience, and achieve your business goals.

Unfortunately, we come across quite a few sites that fall into the trap of common design and development mistakes, which significantly impair their potential for success.

“When it comes to websites, it's often the small details that make the big difference.” - Yoni Poupko, DuoDiv co-founder

The 10 Most Common Digital Obstacles

So what are the most common mistakes to avoid? Here are 10 of the common obstacles we encounter:

  1. Confusing or unintuitive navigation - If users do not easily find what they are looking for, they will get frustrated and leave.
  2. Slow loading speed - In the era of instant gratification, a slow website is a site that loses visitors.
  3. Non-responsive design - With more and more traffic from mobile devices, a website must look and function excellently on every screen.
  4. Untargeted or relevant content - If the content does not appeal to the target audience and does not meet their needs, it will not arouse interest.
  5. CTA unclear or missing - Without a clear guideline for action, visitors will not know what to do next.
  6. Distracting visual elements - Too cluttered design or flashing graphics can alienate users.
  7. Long or cumbersome forms - If there are too many fields or a complex process, users will give up.
  8. Mismatch between pages and messages - If the language, design and tone are inconsistent, it creates confusion and distrust.
  9. Cross-browser compatibility issues - THE SITE MUST WORK SMOOTHLY IN ALL COMMON BROWSERS AND SYSTEMS.
  10. Lack of optimization for organic promotion - If the site is not built with SEO in mind, it will have difficulty reaching relevant audiences.
