The Seven Deadly Sins of
Web Business Design
By Caterina Christakos
Before you take a road trip it is usually a good idea to know where you are going. It is the same when you are
building a business, creating a marketing plan or building your web site. Know what your end result will be when you
are planning and designing your site will help you to build it properly from day one.

Here are the 7 Deadly Sins that most web business owners commit when designing their site.




Picking a business without knowing wether there is a deman.


Picking too broad of a subject. If you pick a huge subject like real estate the likelyhood of soaring to the top of the
search engines is slim. Niches tend to be easier to conquer and more profitable.


Picking a low cost web host. You get what you pay for. Many low cost web hosts go out of business leaving your
business lost in cyber space.


Failure to analyze keywords for profitability. Picking the right key words for your business can be the difference
between making and losing money.


Failure to create and maintain your site's meta tags. These are the html tags that tell the search engines what your
site is about. No metatags equals little to no traffic to your site.


Failure to optimize your web business for search engine ranking. Just adding meta tags will not earn you a number
one ranking. You need to know how to pick a domain name, and how many times to include your key words within
your site.


Failure to submit each page to the search engines on a regular basis. The greater the number of pages in your site
that are spidered, the better the chance that your buyers will find you.
