You’re a driven entrepreneur. You’ve got the skills, the vision, and the determination to grow your business. So you rolled up your sleeves and built your own website.
That initiative deserves credit 💪 — but here’s the truth: a DIY site might look okay on the surface, while secretly driving clients away.
If you’ve been wondering why inquiries are slow or why sales aren’t coming in, your website could be the culprit.
Here are 5 common DIY website mistakes that keep women entrepreneurs from getting the clients they deserve — and how to fix them.
- Your design looks amateur
First impressions online are everything. If your site looks generic, cluttered, or inconsistent with your brand, clients hesitate.
💡 A polished design = instant trust. An amateur look = lost opportunity.
- Nobody finds you on Google
If your site isn’t optimized for SEO, it’s basically invisible.
DIY platforms rarely set you up for success in search rankings.
👉 If clients can’t find you on Google, your business is missing out on growth. According to Google’s own page speed research, even a one-second delay in loading can hurt both rankings and conversions
- It doesn’t work on mobile
Most of your potential clients are checking you out on their phone.
If your site is slow, hard to read, or broken on mobile, they’ll bounce.
📱 Reality check: if it doesn’t work on mobile, it doesn’t work.
- There’s no clear next step
Visitors land on your site, but don’t know what to do.
Is your “Book a Call” button hidden? Is your contact form confusing?
❌ No clear call-to-action = no conversions.
- It doesn’t convert visitors into clients
Traffic doesn’t equal sales. A website should guide your client on a journey:
From “I just found you” → to “I trust you” → to “I’m ready to book.”
If your site isn’t doing that, it’s costing you revenue every single day.
