A common error in creating a web site that isn’t search engine friendly. If the search engines can’t determine what your site is about, they aren’t going to be able to send you people who are searching for what you offer. Choose your target market and stick with it. Advertise in places they would see. A site that tries to do everything usually ends up achieving nothing.

Technical mistakes which are usually made because of not understanding the internet and how it actually works. One of the mistakes many people make when creating a website is to fill as much information, photographs, images, etc. on each page as possible.

This makes the site heavier to load, leading to many visitors just moving on and never actually looking at the site. It also makes it more difficult to find what they’re looking for if the page is not found.

Another common mistake is following the competition’s lead. You’ll obviously want to keep an eye on them to see what they’re up to, but if you copy everything they do you’ll always be one step behind. Use your creativity and come up with unique ways to stand out from the rest of the websites in your market.

A mistake that many people make when starting out is to choose a host solely based on price. This is obviously an important factor, especially in the beginning, but if you choose the cheapest host you may be limited in your scalability as the website grows in popularity and traffic.
