Illustration of common website design mistakes

Svetainė yra daugiau nei gražus dizainas, tai verslo įrankis, kuris turi veikti. Vis dėlto net tvarkingai atrodanti svetainė gali prarasti užklausas, jei joje nėra aiškaus tikslo, patogaus kelio iki veiksmo ar normalaus mobiliojo vaizdo. Dažniausiai problemos prasideda nuo mažų sprendimų. Atrodo smulkmena, bet paskui ji kainuoja lankytojus.

A website is created without a clear purpose

One of the most common mistakes is to start a website „because you have to“ without knowing what it's for. If it is not clear what purpose the website is supposed to fulfil (to inform, to generate enquiries, to sell), the whole structure becomes chaotic.

Tip: pradėti verta nuo strategijos. Read more about how to clarify your website goals.

Design over functionality

Beautiful design is important, but if the buttons are unclear, the fonts are hard to read and the contact form is hidden, the design becomes an obstacle.

UX problem: the user doesn't know where to click, what to do and walks away.

Tip: The design must not only be beautiful, but also intuitive. Everything has to be where the user expects it.

No or ineffective call to action (CTA)

Often, websites have no clear call to action. Or the CTA is too weak: „Learn more“, „Click here“ - it doesn't work.

Tip: Use clear invitations that encourage the user to take a specific action, e.g. „Get a quote“, „Book a time“, „View prices“.

The website works poorly on mobile devices

There are still some websites that display distorted on mobile, with slow loading times or broken buttons. This is not only a bad experience, but it's also bad for SEO.

Tip: design must be „mobile first“. Make sure everything works as smoothly on your phone as it does on your computer.

Content is inconsistent or unprepared

Net ir geriausias dizainas nepadės, jei turinys svetainėje neatspindi realių paslaugų, pilnas bendrinių frazių arba parašytas skubotai. Tokiu atveju lankytojas tiesiog nesupras pasiūlymo, o pasitikėjimas greitai išgaruos.

Tip: kad išvengtume šios klaidos, Radeimo Solutions savo klientams visada pateikia klausimyną ir turinio planavimo anketą, which allows for a clear and concise collection of all the necessary information. This helps to create targeted, meaningful and easy-to-understand website content.

Avoiding investment in SEO

Although the website looks clean, it is not visible in Google searches. Why? Because it's not optimised.

Tip: SEO is not an add-on, but a necessary part. Every page must have keywords, meta descriptions and fast loading times.

Kaip klaidų išvengti dar prieš dizainą

Daug svetainės klaidų atsiranda dar prieš pirmą dizaino variantą. Jei neaiškus tikslas, puslapiai planuojami iš įpročio. Jei neaiški auditorija, tekstai tampa bendriniai. Jei neaiški paslaugų logika, lankytojas turi pats suprasti, ką rinktis.

Todėl klaidų prevencija prasideda nuo struktūros ir turinio. Šiai temai labai artimas straipsnis how to plan the content and structure of your website. Jis padeda klaidas pamatyti dar prieš kuriant puslapius.

  • pirmiausia apibrėžkite svetainės tikslą
  • nesukurkite meniu vien pagal konkurentus
  • nepalikite svarbių atsakymų tik pokalbiui
  • testuokite puslapį telefone, ne tik kompiuteryje

If this topic is relevant, it is worth moving on to How do I prepare for the website development process?. Alongside this topic, it's worth looking at Why is mobile-friendly design necessary today?.

Dalis klaidų atsiranda dar planavimo pradžioje, kai neaišku, kokie puslapiai reikalingi. Tam padeda straipsnis Which pages are essential for every website. Jei svetainė jau paleista, bet jos nesimato paieškoje, verta pasitikrinti ir temą What to do if your website doesn't show up on Google.

If you would like to assess which site direction would make the most sense for your situation, get in touch. You can calmly review your needs, the scope and a realistic first step.
