5 Powerful Fixes to Make Your DIY Website Finally Work
Created Your Own Website? this is How you can Make It Work
You did the hard part — you launched your own website.
That’s huge.
Whether you used Wix, GoDaddy, Squarespace, or built it in WordPress, getting your business online is an important step.
But if you’re wondering…
“Why am I not getting leads?”
“Why isn’t my website showing on Google?”
“Why is it loading so slowly?”
You’re not alone — and you’re definitely not doing anything wrong.
You just need a little optimization.
These are the 5 powerful fixes to make your DIY website finally work; for traffic, for visibility, and for real business growth.
1. Fix What Slows It Down
Website speed matters more than ever.
If your site takes longer than 3 seconds to load, most visitors will bounce.
Here’s what to check:
- Compress your images
- Remove unused plugins or scripts
- Avoid animations that block loading
- Use tools like Google PageSpeed Insights
Fast site = better rankings + better user experience
2. Make It Searchable (Even If You Built It Yourself)
Most DIY sites are missing basic SEO setup — and that’s why they never show up in search.
Here’s how to fix that:
- Add proper page titles and meta descriptions
- Make sure your headings (H1, H2, H3) are structured logically
- Use keywords your customers actually search for
- Set up Google Search Console and submit your sitemap
Without SEO, even the best-looking website stays invisible.
3. Check Your Mobile Experience
Over 60% of your visitors are on mobile. If your layout is broken, slow, or hard to read — they’re gone.
How to check:
- Load your site on your own phone
- Look for weird spacing, broken menus, tiny text
- Use Google’s Mobile-Friendly Test to score your pages
- Simplify your design if needed — less is more on mobile
4. Guide Visitors to Take Action
The #1 mistake in DIY websites?
No clear call to action.
Add:
- A “Book Now” button or contact form
- Visible phone number or scheduling link
- Testimonials or social proof that build trust
- Section headers that guide the scroll
Make it easy for someone to say “Yes — I want this.”
5. If You’re Ready to Level Up — Don’t Start Over
Here’s the good news: you don’t need to throw your site away.
You just need someone to audit what’s working, and optimize what’s not.
