PROBLEMSS E E D L I N G C R E A T I V E . C O M
1. USING FLASHAdobe Flash doesn't work on phones or
tablets, which is over 50% of all web traffic.
Flash support is also being phased out by
web browsers including Chrome.
Pretty soon it won't work anywhere.
Switch to HTML5. That works on every
device
2. NOT MOBILEFRIENDLY
Once again, over 50% of all web traffic is
from mobile devices.
If your website isn't optimized for mobile,
you're getting penalized on search rankings.
Use Responsive Design or create a mobile
version.
Test your website with Google's Free Tool

3. CONTACT PAGE MISSING
Make it easy for
customers to contact you.
Don't make them search
through your site to find
your email & phone
number.
Always include a contact
page in the navigation
menu.
4. IT 'S MISSING
I see websites all the time that are unavailable.
Sometimes because the company forgot to renew
their hosting, sometimes because of hackers, or a
server crash.
Either way, it's hurting your sales.
Check your site regularly.
It can go down for many reasons.
6. OUTDATEDWas your website around when modems were dial up?
If your website is more than 2 years old, it's outdated.
We now have HTML5, CSS3, & HTTPS for security.
An outdated website will hurt your
search rankings and give the
appearance that you're not with
the times.
7. BROKEN FORM
Broken forms are the reason
you're not getting any leads from
your website.
Have your web developer fix it
ASAP.
Audit your website at least once
per quarter. Make sure a customer
can easily find and reach you.
8. MALWARE OR SECURITYBREACH
If there is malware or a security
breach, your customers will not
be able to access your website.
Keep your customers safe.
Contact your developer ASAP.
This is a business killer.
