*Mistake number one: Don't use outdated link and use this link for FREE signup **acortar.link/WixSite** Number two will be that you should not go for free website despite it is completely free because it looks awful with wix logos and ads running on your website. Premium plan is cheap with only 8$ month, plus they have sales every week.*

Here's a quicklist for ease of reference: 01 - No mobile version 02 - Mobile header too big 03 - No call to action 04 - No information about you 05 - No map 06 - No email subscription 07 - No NAP (name, address, phone) 08 - Broken links 09 - Slow websites (reduce image quality) 10 - Poor navigation header 11 - Too many fonts 12 - No social networks 13 - No/mistitled logo png 14 - No blog 15 - No internal pages 16 - No google analytics 17 - Low quality pixelated pictures 18 - Having ads on your website 19 - Bad domain name 20 - Unreadable fonts 21 - No brand description 22 - Having music playing 23 - Not using exit-intent popups 24 - Not seo-ing your website Some really good info in there. Particularly the blog and internal links. However, "Number 7 is going to surprise you" is a really cheap approach. Your content is better than that.

[@CatJammies]

THE 25th MISTAKE - "Wishing" you had a web site but NEVER acting upon your desire to build a site or your business.. THE 26th MISTAKE - Telling all your friends and acquaintances about you ingenious business idea but NEVER actually building or acting upon it. The best way to kill your dreams is to start blabbing your ideas to anyone who will listen. Feeding yourself dopamine through talking about false dreams can give you the same emotional enjoyment as actually pursuing your dreams thus, why you hear so many people talking about things they will never actually achieve. (great TED talks about this topic) GREAT INFO. Thank You!

[@alanimal6145]

Gret vid, thanks! BUT regarding the header/menu, which WIX templates allow you to have text menus rather than those 3 lines button? So annoying

[@ezzatizetty07]

hmm....personally, as a user, I rather like 3 lines button. An icon is always better than text. However, if you really want the text menu than the button, there is a tutorial of it on youtube but it can be quite complex as you need to create a lightbox that contains text linked to each page or anchor (make sure it won't show up automatically), then make the 3 lines disappear by deleting them. Put the text menu and link it to the lightbox. A pro of this method is that you can totally customize your menu lightbox. Other than that, I don't really see any reason to do it but it's up to you.

Another thing is how to use SEO ? most videos I saw are old and not updated.. Please if any read my post and know how please help.

[@billmclaughlin5493]

Thank you for teaching me. QUESTION: i have a domain already and had an old website that got deleted. How do I keep other big companies from steeling the people that are looking for me. Like if someone is searching for my company, A Place For Mom website pulls up and shows my info then the consumer contacts them and I would owe A Place For Mom a fee if I work with the consumer that was looking for me? Can I fix this situation with a new WIX site?

[@keithdmaust1854]

Stating that Wix mobile editor is really great is laughable. I love Wix - but mobile editor blows.

[@ColossalCereal]

yea they really gotta overhaul it big time. creating things that aren't templates look so hilariously bad and out of place when you're previewing in mobile, and there's so little you can do about it. so i guess being creative and thinking outside the box comes at a cost lol at least they let you turn it off so that mobile users will be running the desktop version of the site. still not maybe the best decision but it's a million times better than wix "trying" to make your site look even half decent on mobile

[@calvertphoto]

Wix's forthcoming Editor X system is miles better.

[@keithdmaust1854]

@@calvertphoto Holy shit - you are a serious photographer! Not being snarky - after checking out your credentials I feel like I should address you with the term Sir. Thanks for the heads-up about the new Wix editor on the horizon. I am running four Wix sites and the mobile editor is so bad I just redirect people to use a laptop or larger monitor. Just curious how did you find out about upgrade?

[@keithdmaust1854]

@@ColossalCereal I have used the following work around. On the homepage of my regular site in the smallest possible type put a redirect at the bottom of the page. I actually try and hide it. Then on the mobile editor I delete just about everything else except one or two large images and enlarge the redirect so you can't miss it. The text in the redirect it's just a simple request that people use a laptop or larger monitor. hope that help! Hey I was snooping on your site and suspect you might be a street racer...

I honestly can't believe you just breezed thru the mobile editor with sparkling praise. here in 2021 and we are stuck with some 2010 apple phone temp for the mobile editor. most of us have 1080p phones now. why hasn't Wix updated their mobile editor ? 3-4 standard types to choose from ? the mob editor brought me nothing but grief.
