Did you know that building a website that works, attracts traffic, converts visitors AND one that reflects your brand in a professional manner is not as easy as it seems? Last month we began this two-part blog, addressing 9 common mistakes DIYers tend to make when it comes to websites. You can check that blog out by clicking here. 


These last four are big ones - so let’s dive right in!


9 Common Mistakes Continued…


MISTAKE #6: Thinking a Website Is “One and Done”


The DIY Problem: Many people treat a website like a one-time task: build it, launch it, forget it. But the web is always evolving — and your business probably is, too.


Why It Matters: Outdated content, broken links, security flaws, and untracked performance hurt your credibility and visibility over time.


Our Way: We offer ongoing support and updates. From content tweaks to performance reporting, we keep your site fresh, fast, and functional. You stay focused on your business — we handle the tech.



MISTAKE #7: Underestimating the Time and Frustration


The DIY Problem: People think it’ll take “a few hours.” In reality, they spend dozens of hours troubleshooting, editing, testing, and still end up with a subpar product.


Why It Matters: Your time is valuable — and frustration isn’t worth it.


Our Way: We’ve built hundreds of successful websites — on time, on budget, and with far less stress for you. What takes you weeks, we do in days — with better results.



MISTAKE #8: Overdesigning or Underdesigning


The DIY Problem: Going too flashy or too basic.


Why It Matters: A site that’s too simple may look amateurish, while one overloaded with animations, fonts, and colors distracts and frustrates users. DIY builders tempt you with a lot of options — but not all should be used.


Our Way: We keep it clean and consistent. The goal is to try and stick to a simple color palette, use 2–3 fonts max, and ensure every visual element supports user experience and clarity.



MISTAKE #9: Forgetting Legal and Security Essentials


The Mistake: Skipping SSL certificates, privacy policies, and accessibility.


Why It Matters: A site without HTTPS can deter visitors and hurt SEO. Lacking a privacy policy (especially with contact forms or tracking) can land you in legal trouble. Poor accessibility means you exclude users with disabilities — and in some cases, break the law.


Our Way: We always use HTTPS, write a basic privacy policy, include accessibility features like alt text and keyboard navigation, and follow WCAG guidelines.
