“Why Most DIY Business Websites Fail (And How to Get Yours Right)”

Let’s be honest — most small business websites look awful. Not because the owner didn’t try, but because building a website that actually works takes more than dragging boxes around on a screen.

At Websitezy, we’ve seen it all: sites with no call-to-action, random colour schemes, or worse — no way for customers to get in touch.

So here’s why most DIY websites don’t work… and what to do instead.


❌ 1. No Clear Message

If someone lands on your website and has to guess what you do, they’ll bounce. Fast.

Your homepage should instantly say:
Who you help. What you do. How to contact you.

Simple.


❌ 2. Looks Dodgy on Mobile

Over 70% of website visits come from phones.
If your site’s clunky on mobile, you’re losing leads while you sleep.

We make sure your site looks clean and works smoothly on all devices — no pinching, no zooming, just scroll and call.


❌ 3. No Trust Signals

People don’t buy from strangers — they buy from businesses they trust.

What helps:

  • Google reviews
  • Real photos (not stock ones)
  • Clear contact details
  • Simple layout (not flashy tricks)

❌ 4. No SEO Basics

Google can’t rank what it can’t read. DIY builders often miss:

  • H1 headings
  • Meta descriptions
  • Keyword-friendly URLs
  • Image alt tags

We sort all that for you — so your site actually shows up when someone searches.


✅ What Websitezy Does Instead:

  • We build proper small business websites that are clean, simple, and get the job done.
  • No waffle, no gimmicks.
