5 Website Mistakes That Are Costing Your Business Money (And How to Fix Them)
Your website could be the reason you’re losing customers — without even realizing it.
At Prowebdesignz, we’ve helped tons of South African businesses improve their websites and boost their online results. And guess what? Most of them were making the same mistakes.
Here are 5 common website mistakes — and how to fix them.
❌ 1. No Clear Call-to-Action (CTA)
Ever been on a website and had no idea what to do next?
Whether it’s “Get a Quote,” “Buy Now,” or “Book a Call,” every website should guide the visitor toward an action.
✅ Fix: We design websites with strong, clear CTAs that drive real results.
❌ 2. Website Looks Outdated or Unprofessional
An old or messy-looking website can instantly turn customers away. In 2025, people judge your brand fast — and they won’t stick around if your site looks like it’s from 2010.
✅ Fix: We design modern, clean, mobile-friendly websites that match your brand and build trust.
❌ 3. Not Mobile Friendly
More than 70% of website traffic in SA comes from mobile phones. If your site isn’t responsive, people will leave — fast.
✅ Fix: All our websites are 100% mobile-friendly, so you look great on any device.
❌ 4. No SEO or Local Visibility
If people can’t find you on Google, they might never find you at all. No SEO = no traffic.
✅ Fix: We optimize your site with local SEO so you show up in local searches like “web designer in Sandton” or “online store Cape Town.”
❌ 5. No Maintenance or Support
Websites need updates, backups, and security checks. If you “set it and forget it,” you’re risking crashes, hacks, and downtime.
✅ Fix: Our monthly maintenance plans keep your site safe, fast, and up-to-date.
