5. Confusing The User By Using Several CTAs:

Call to action aka CTA is pivotal in driving conversions. However, do not commit the error of using several of them on a single page that will leave the user bewildered and disoriented.

Using various CTAs on a single page will not improve your chances of conversion. The right thing to do is focus on what you are aiming to achieve through a particular page or site. How do you want your user to respond to your given piece of information and accordingly place the relevant CTA (call to action button)? Your CTA should not conflict with the marketing goal.

6. Scrolling and Conversion Rate:

Designing a website and placing the essential elements on the right/expected place will work in favor of your business as visitors will find the site more synchronized and easy to navigate through.

Website scrolling and placement of call to action button will impact how your visitor responds to your website. Is your CTA placed on the very top of the page? Do you think it is the right location to place your CTA because what if the user has to scroll back all the way up to go through the conversion? It is possible that visitors will retract for they are not interested in doing all the effort.

Many websites use scrollable CTA buttons to save the time for the user. You can also choose strategic locations on the website/webpage to place your relevant CTAs that will contribute to improving the conversion rate.

7. Hard To Read and illegible Website:

Multiple elements together create a well-synchronized website that will work as a solid platform to increase clientele and business exposure.

Talking about the website design then it is important to understand that first and foremost a website should be easy to read and understand. Use of conflicting color schemes, larger than life content blocks, multiple fonts, and font colors will ultimately turn your site into a website that has the least professional appeal.

Website design and SEO experts do recommend choosing a professional color scheme, font sizes, and CTA selection to give your website good aesthetics and seamless navigation.

8. Complex and Intricate Checkout Process:

For online shopping, the cart abandonment rate is 60 to 80 percent. A user is more likely to abandon their shopping cart when the checkout process is too complicated/time consuming.

A consumer is happy when they can go through the whole shopping and checkout process using as fewer clicks as possible. The user experience will be affected if you have hidden navigation buttons which consumer is not expecting and that will negatively affect your conversion or sales rate.
