Common Web Design Mistakes to Avoid in 2025

Don’t Sabotage Your Own Website!

After helping dozens of St. Louis businesses, we see the same errors over and over. Fix these now and you’ll get better results from day one.

1. Ignoring Mobile Users

Over 60% of visitors are on their phones. If your site is hard to read or navigate on mobile, they’ll bounce to a competitor—fast.

2. Slow Load Times

• Large images not optimized for web
• Cheap hosting or no CDN
• Too many plugins or scripts

3. Poor Navigation

Keep your menu simple. Use clear calls-to-action like “Book Now” or “Get a Quote”.

4. No Clear Contact Info

Your phone number and contact form should be easy to find—on every page.

5. Not Using Testimonials

Reviews and real client stories build instant trust. Add them!

6. Outdated Design or Content

If your site looks like it’s from 2012, people assume your business is too. Modernize!

Conclusion

Avoid these pitfalls and your website will work for you, not against you. Need a site review? We’ll send you actionable tips, no obligation.
