Car Collector Chronicles - THE FORUM

You're asking the right question at the right time. Many founders pour effort into driving traffic only to have a website that leaks potential customers at every step. Based on what you've described, I'd immediately audit for three of the most common and damaging mistakes. First is unclear messaging and weak headlines. If a visitor can't understand exactly what you do, who it's for, and the key benefit within 5 seconds, they'll bounce. Your headline should be a specific promise, not a vague slogan, and sit right next to your primary call-to-action with trust signals (like a customer logo or a brief result). Other critical pitfalls include having a homepage that tries to do everything (it should have one clear goal), using too much industry jargon that visitors don't understand, and having poor visual hierarchy where nothing stands out. A great exercise is to ask someone outside your industry to look at your homepage for 10 seconds and then explain what you do and what they should do next. Their confusion will be very telling. For a comprehensive, actionable list of these errors with straightforward fixes, this article on website mistakes is an excellent resource. It breaks down nine common problems, from accessibility oversights to building a "perfect" site before validating your message, and gives clear steps to correct them.
