2) Outdated website design layout.

Long loading times, broken links or generally bad navigation mean damage to your business image. Remember nowadays website pages are the new shop windows. So who is going to buy from your business when you have a tatty looking display? If you hire WordPress specialists such as us, they will take care of all of these issues. Why bother risking this by hiring amateur website designers for what seems like a better deal when you can get it right the first time with professionals. One of the key signs of an outdated website is a lack of software updates. This is a tell-tale sign that your website hasn’t been looked after. The customer can spot this and as we said earlier, with so many customers shopping online: Why would they wait around for your website to load when they can easily google your competitor in seconds?

3) No Call To Action.

EVERY business website needs a call to action. This is your business offer and it’s a sign of the consumer trust you have built. It’s a way of saying; “ We can help you” online. Your website should have proven how good your business is by now, otherwise, what’s the point in having it? There are many areas on your website where you demonstrate this to the customer. It’s something we at SitesForBusiness know how to do very well. As WordPress specialists, we take care of all of these issues (and more) in everything we do when designing websites.
