1. Choosing the Wrong Web Design Company

Many businesses hire freelancers or agencies that promise cheap websites but fail to deliver quality, performance, or SEO. Tremhost ensures:

  • Professional, custom-designed websites

  • SEO optimization for local visibility

  • Full-service support and maintenance

Tip: Always check portfolios, client testimonials, and expertise before hiring.


2. Using Templates Without Customization

Templates are fast and cheap but often result in generic websites that don’t reflect your brand. Tremhost builds custom websites tailored to your brand, audience, and goals.


3. Ignoring Mobile Optimization

Over 60% of users in Zimbabwe access websites on mobile devices. A site that isn’t mobile-friendly loses visitors instantly. Tremhost websites are responsive and fast, ensuring seamless browsing on all devices.


4. Neglecting SEO

A beautiful website won’t attract clients if it can’t be found on Google. Tremhost includes SEO-optimized pages in every plan, targeting keywords relevant to Zimbabwean businesses.


5. Slow Website Loading

Slow websites frustrate visitors and reduce conversions. Tremhost uses NVMe storage, optimized code, and lightweight designs to keep your site fast.


6. Overcrowded Pages

Some businesses try to include every detail on the homepage, making it confusing. Tremhost focuses on clear messaging, hierarchy, and user-friendly navigation.


7. Ignoring Analytics

Without tracking traffic, clicks, and conversions, you can’t improve performance. Tremhost integrates Google Analytics and other tools so you can make informed decisions.


8. Poor Branding & Design

Inconsistent colors, fonts, and images can hurt your credibility. Tremhost ensures modern, professional design that aligns with your brand identity.


9. Lack of Security

Unsecured websites risk hacks, malware, and lost customer trust. Tremhost provides SSL certificates, firewalls, and ongoing security maintenance.


10. No Post-Launch Support

Many businesses launch a website and then leave it unattended. Tremhost offers ongoing maintenance, updates, and edits, ensuring your website continues to perform.
