• Mobile Friendly
Its not a surprise, that people are now more frequently using mobile phones and tablets to surf the internet than to use the desktops of PC. So it would be very wise to have the website, which can be accessed from every existing device, especially from mobile phones. However, there are still some webpages that are not mobile friendly and cannot be opened from them, if your website is one of this kind then fix it as soon as possible.

• Simplicity
Of course when are your operating in a certain market you know every detail about it and can be said that you are the expert of it. But when it comes to explanation of who you are and what you do try to avoid some technical words or language which in most cases confuse the customers. They do not have as much knowledge as you do about specific fields so try use as simple as words as possible.

• Content
When customers are visiting your website they are looking for some solutions to their current problems. Therefore, you must always have something fresh and valuable that would be praiseworthy by customers. It will not be always only about your business activities, it might be something related to them so it is wise to have included the blog in your website where you would post interesting and useful articles.

• Information
One of the most frustrating things is to be unable to find the desired information on a website. Try to construct the website in a way that the information will be easily searchable for instance the contact information. There are multiple cases when contact information is hidden and customer has to search it for a long a time. Also add some features, for example the google map link and etc.

• Out of Date
As every other thing in life, websites need some upgrades to look and function better. Of course it does not imply that one has to alter the design or features of website every other month but keep it updated. It also matters a lot how the webpage is functioning because there are some instances where the page loads too slowly or does not load at all. Most of the customers are expecting that website will be opened in seconds not more, if it happens other way round then they are getting frustrated. If the first experience of the customer was not really pleasant then there is high probability than he will never return to that website.

Of course there are many other failures and mistakes that affect the websites but these ones are the most frequent ones. If you are not satisfied with your webpage results, then examine it maybe you are making one of these mistakes.
