24 Easy Mistakes To Make Building a Wix Website in 2022 (and How You Can Avoid Them)

[@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!

Just starting to focus on my SEO and website a year after starting it with hardly any visitors. I found this video concise and really useful. I've taken a few really good points so thank you very much 😊

[@alexschmidt5612]

Oh my gosh I thought this was a normal video and then BOOM! I got to #7 and I almost fell out of my chair I was so surprised. I don’t think I’ve heard something so shocking before in my life. I never would’ve thought about putting my name, address or telephone number on my business website before that’s just genius and so unique. Just WOW pure WOW!

[@devicreator8644]

not having a mobile version of the website is a very critical mistake. i did it once. it's the easiest thing to overlook, assuming people surf more on PCs and tablets. thank you for expounding on this point.

[@Jonacarpenter]

I thought it was a great video and great list. I'm going to be starting my website soon, using WIX, so I'm glad I found you. I'll be checking out your others. Great job.👏👍

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.

*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.*

[@theperformancestudio]

How do you set it up for exit intent? I don't see the trigger setting to allow for this as opposed to popping up within a certain number of seconds. I don't want it popping up while they are reading the content of the page...only when they move the cursor to navigate off the page. If you can explain I would be really grateful. Thanks

What would you recommend for images sizing?thank you

[@WebsiteBuilderExpert]

Wix's recommended image size is 600 x 315 px. However, you can go as large as 1200 x 630 px, and as small as 200 x 200 px.

[@LenGJR1]

Very good actionable information. Thank you for the share.

[@JudiChristopher]

So... You have to have a small Header on your computer??? That looks silly... and what you''re saying is that Whatever size is on your computer is also on your phone? It doesn't convert the size down to the phone??? If this is the case... then the computer version is going to look distorted... Heading (Title) too Small... I am very confused.

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.

How to make products comparison website with parallel companies & separate products search bar ?? Plz make video

[@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.

[@PapercutWeddings]

Hi..thanks for the easy explanation. But I am facing a problem. This function is happening only once. For example, the menu is appearing only once...I used a menu collapse command on mouse out. But when i hover the mouse again, the menu isnt showing up. Can you help ?
