    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!

    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      *Mistake number one: Don't use outdated link and use this link for FREE signup **acortar.link/WixSite** Number two will be that you should not go for free website despite it is completely free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.*

    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.

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?

    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
      @ezzatizetty07 Před 5 lety

      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.
