10 Reasons Why Your Website Is Not Converting Customers

Your website is the first impression potential customers have of your business. If it's not up to par, you could be losing out on a lot of business.

1. Make sure your website is mobile-friendly in order to capture the attention of potential customers who are using their smartphones and tablets to browse the internet.

[{"selector":"#anim-369b67bf-1221-40b0-819b-9413fc4d0140","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d2018e35-1b8f-425a-b3e3-cfd51c0f8055","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 132.09875%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

2. A user-friendly website will help potential customers find what they're looking for quickly and easily, without getting frustrated and giving up.

[{"selector":"#anim-fcc5363d-aad9-489b-9008-a88926ad8ebe","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-db3808eb-761c-4fcc-a2ce-39a4bea141fe","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 155.26917%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

3. Appeal to potential customers' senses by having a visually appealing website - use high-quality images, attractive fonts, and a clean layout.

[{"selector":"#anim-a131c407-034f-4124-9bcf-307538c69427","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c0832537-b71c-4402-8e98-89783372d247","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 152.17640%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

4. Too little information on your website can be just as bad as too much - make sure you have enough content to give potential customers a good idea of what you offer, without overwhelming them.

[{"selector":"#anim-21f8d4a4-d21a-456e-ab70-c04460e85a20","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-89f0a849-b58b-490b-8b97-f6b4c958fed3","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 134.32097%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

5. A confusing navigation can lose potential customers - keep your navigation simple and easy to understand.

[{"selector":"#anim-2ada5b84-97f8-46be-a0a8-bdbd70804772","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-12ea1e72-6b73-41df-82da-7988ea1a29ac","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 225.36050%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

6. An outdated or unprofessional design will turn potential customers away - make sure your website looks modern and polished.

[{"selector":"#anim-c1ec40cf-c704-4a08-83a2-3f80267688db","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-bee83a7d-b4bb-4615-ad1b-ee1b02515d97","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 154.23825%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

7. A call-to-action (CTA) is essential in converting potential customers into actual customers - make sure yours is clear, concise, and visible.

[{"selector":"#anim-2e442f9f-6b59-4ee4-a41c-915bf23f7896","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c3fcfd77-075f-47ce-a575-aad65b4f17cb","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 153.20731%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

8. Content that is poorly written will not only turn potential customers away, but it will also reflect badly on your business - take the time to proofread and edit your content before publishing it.

[{"selector":"#anim-d7d54c3a-2b78-4428-9346-d7409b326527","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-fac817cc-caf9-4735-b703-f19e09e687ac","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 114.03962%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

9. Too much information can be off-putting - keep it concise and to the point.

[{"selector":"#anim-65c67a45-7535-4efa-9f5f-7b7370bc2154","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-bd5f68c2-3f31-473d-afa2-a4d7b52f3bce","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 293.22221%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

10. Clearly state your value proposition - what makes you different from the competition? Why should people choose you?

[{"selector":"#anim-759c7888-0c6a-43ad-a821-6f5f016a1c48","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-6d4181ea-c436-4a18-9474-787dc4ad093e","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 167.81841%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]
