20 Reasons your Website could be failing!

It's not hard to see that the internet has a lot going on these days and nothing is as straight forward as we'd like it to be. There is an endless amount of reasons why a particular website could be functioning incorrectly or contrary to the way it is supposed to on the web. Everything from the website design & development to what you are doing to market the site could be having a negative impact on your online brand. There's also the possibility that nobody wants what you are offering which is a whole other issue. Chicago Web Design online needs quality and a certain element of uniqueness to them.
Here are 20 reasons your website needs revamping:
1. The user experience you've created is bad and people are simply leaving your website.
2. Your content and Navigation links are broken or missing.
3. Your website loads so slowly the user closes the window before you can even get your message across!
4. Bad Web Design and Development. Time to hire a new Chicago Web Designer!
5. Lack of conversion needs built in (lead form, phone number, email, etc…)
6. Not enough personality to the brand.
7. Too much personality spewing out of the brand.
8. Web Design and Content catered to the wrong demographic.
9. Poorly written website content.
10. Too much SEO efforts.
11. Too many Google ads throughout the site.
12. Too many affiliate links all over the place blinking up a storm.
13. Poor use of website images.
14. Abandoned or blank company blog. ALWAYS blog!
15. Lack of website updates. Content is King.
16. Poor URL structures throughout the site. If people can't get back to the home page...something is wrong.
17. Frequent server hosting crashes. If this is happening, get a new host.
18. Site dynamics causing web browser crashing.
19. No attention to detail anywhere.
20. No social interaction attempts with your audience. Use Facebook, Twitter, and a Blog to let people know there's a person behind that beautiful website.
The list can really go on and on and it is important your chicago web design and content does not fall prey to any of these elements on this list.
