10 Wix mistakes new business owners make

Most Wix problems are easy to prevent. Avoid these ten and your site will start ahead of most.

These Wix mistakes are the ones new business owners make most often, and each one is easy to avoid.

  1. Staying on the free plan. You get a Wix address and ads. Use a paid plan and your own domain.
  2. Not checking the mobile view. Most visitors use phones. Edit the mobile layout on purpose.
  3. Using huge images. Large uploads slow pages down. Compress photos before uploading.
  4. Skipping page titles and descriptions. Every page needs its own. See the SEO checklist.
  5. Too many fonts and colors. Use two fonts and your brand colors.
  6. Hiding contact details. Put a phone number, email or button where people see it quickly.
  7. Vague text. Say plainly what you sell and who it is for.
  8. No Google Business Profile. Local customers will not find you. Read how to set it up.
  9. Letting someone else own the account. Keep your plan, domain and login in your own name.
  10. Never updating. A site with old offers looks abandoned. Review it every few months.
