We’ve all been to those websites that are so rough, we just leave immediately and never give the shop another chance. I’m here to help you avoid becoming one of those shops. Here are 3 unforgivable Shopify sins.
Number 01: having a slow site.
Having a fast website is super important. We live in this amazing world of ‘right here, right now’ and nobody has time to wait around for your pages to load. Check out my post with detailed step by step tips on how to speed up your site: 3 ways to help your shopify site run faster, where I run you through the easiest ways to speed up your website today.
Number 02: not owning your domain name.
It’s super easy to buy your domain name, and it looks way more professional to your customers (not to mention search engines) when you own yours! It’s surprisingly inexpensive and super simple, and you can even do it without leaving Shopify. They’ll even give you suggestions for a different domain name if the one you’re hoping for is already taken. And bonus, if you already purchased a domain name from somewhere else, Shopify makes it super easy to connect it to your Shopify website.
Aaaand Number 03: not optimizing for mobile.
Around 60% of ecommerce sales are completed on a mobile device. So more than half of the people who are visiting your site are seeing the mobile version, and not the gorgeous version you created on the computer. It’s suuuper important to make sure your website looks and functions just as amazingly on an iphone as it does on a computer. Taking the steps to make your website run faster will actually also help it be more appealing on mobile devices!
