Common mistakes in website design

To avoid regretting your choices afterwards, it's a good idea to avoid these common mistakes:

  • ❌ Not defining a clear goal beforehand

  • ❌ Trying it yourself without knowledge of UX and structure

  • ❌ Focusing only on design without content strategy

  • ❌ No focus on mobile display or speed
