Common Mistakes When Designing a WordPress Site

WordPress  is a huge platform that treats 400 million people over 24 billion pages each month. Such a huge platform has many people to treat. So, in the following guidelines, we will discuss some of the common mistakes in making/  designing a WordPress site  for beginners to follow.

1- Buying Specific to your Need:

To get your website live, you just need a domain and  hosting. Do not go for the traps like  domain  registration and some extra  security  from the hosting services. All this will waste your precious money.

2- Ignoring the updates:

Most people will notice an update notification on their  WordPress  dashboard from time to time. However, they are afraid to install an update in fear that it will cause their site to crash. But it's just a misconception.

3- Choosing the wrong theme Also Nulled theme:

The most common type of struggle faced by the new website owners is how to  design a perfect looking website. However, the design will have a huge impact on the success of your website. Suppose a visitor struggles in finding a thing he or she is looking for. This may crush the user experience, which causes a terrible impact on the user. However, there are many  WordPress  themes, which allow you the best interface for your work to show your audience.

4- Forgot to remove demo content:

Most people will forget to remove the demo content, which is automatically present in their  WordPress website  with a default page called "hello world." This page contains some dummy content. If you forgot to remove the content, there is a chance that the text will be crawled and indexed by Google, and you might get a penalty from google.

5- Not Using Categories and Tags Properly:

Organizing your content on  WordPress  with proper categories and tags is very important. Most people ignore their importance and create their site, which later causes a problem in many of the  ranking  factors.

6- Not Choosing the Right URL Structure (Permalinks):

URL  is the essential thing in the whole website because it contains a website address. If the address is incorrect, the user cannot reach the required destination. Therefore, the correct format is significant in adjusting the URL. The most preferable is the POST NAME URL that contains your targeted keyword, and the user can easily reach out to your post.

7- Ignoring SEO:

Another common mistake that  WordPress  beginners make is ignoring the SEO factors. If you are creating content without thinking about SEO, you are surely doing it wrong. Because without  SEO, your content did not rank on google. If the website is not ranked, you might face difficulty gaining a handsome amount of traffic. That is why every beginner needs to learn SEO.

CONCLUSION:

WordPress  is a great platform. It's a powerful tool; at the same time, it makes it very easy to let the user make mistakes. So try not to fall victim to such common mistakes.
