Website redesign mistakes

- Changing URLs without redirects
- Ignoring mobile forms
- Launching without analytics
- Replacing useful content with generic copy
Changing URLs without redirects
Redirects are planned before pages move, which reduces broken links and keeps authority from being scattered across dead URLs.
Ignoring mobile forms
Long forms can suppress good inquiries, especially when the visitor only needs to start a conversation.
Launching without analytics
Form submissions, thank-you pages, calls, and key contact events are wired so launch performance can be measured.
Replacing useful content
Do not throw away pages that still earn traffic. Review each section before deciding whether to keep, revise, merge, or remove it.
