COMMON MISTAKES TO AVOID

#1. Choosing the default CMS without analysis

WordPress isn't always the right choice. For 50+ product e-commerce: Shopify wins. For a marketplace: Sharetribe. For a high-traffic blog: Webflow or Astro. No one-size-fits-all.

#2. Underestimating total cost (TCO)

Initial development only represents 30-40% of 5-year TCO. Hosting, maintenance, security, updates, design rebuilds = 60-70%. Budget long-term.

#3. Skipping UX/wireframes phase

Coding without wireframes costs 3-5x more in late revisions. Invest 10-15% of budget in UX design + validated Figma mockups.

#4. Neglecting accessibility (WCAG)

1 in 5 has a disability affecting web navigation. WCAG 2.1 AA is mandatory for EU public entities and a positive SEO signal.

#5. Launching without measurement plan

A site without Google Analytics + Google Search Console + Hotjar = flying blind. Install tracking BEFORE launch, not after.
