Website Mistakes Killing Your Sales in Cameroon and how to fix it.

Website Mistakes in Cameroon

A slow, ugly, or confusing website can silently drive away your customers.


In Cameroon, only about 44% of people are online (Datareportal). 


That means every visitor matters. If your website is not helping you make money, it’s likely chasing people away instead.


We analysed 1,000 websites in Cameroon and found that over 90% of them don’t convert, don’t sell, and don’t help the business grow.


Below are the most common web design mistakes that kill your sales and how Weblim helps fix them.

6 Website Mistakes Killing Your Sales

1. Slow Loading Times

If your site takes too long to load, people leave. It’s that simple.

 

More than 50% of users will leave if your site takes more than 3 seconds to load (Unbounce).

 

OuterBox says you lose about 7% in sales for every second of delay (OuterBox).

 

What Slows Down Your Website?

  • Big, heavy pictures and videos that are not compressed

  • Cheap web hosting or no caching

  • Too many plugins, ads, or widgets

 

Only 2% of websites meet Google’s 3-second speed rule. That means 98% are losing money without even knowing it.

 

How Weblim Fixes This:

  • We reduce file sizes

  • Use fast servers

  • Remove unnecessary scripts

  • Enable caching to speed up load time

 

A fast site keeps people on your page longer, which increases your chances of making a sale.

2. Bad Mobile Experience

Most Cameroonians go online using their phones.

 

If your site isn’t mobile-friendly, most visitors won’t stay. 

 

72% of users prefer mobile-friendly sites, and 57% won’t recommend a business with a bad mobile site (BusinessDasher).

 

Common Mobile Issues:

  • Tiny buttons and small text

  • Menus or pages that don’t adjust to screen size

  • Slow load times on mobile data

 

How Weblim Fixes This:

  • We use large, easy-to-tap buttons

  • Clean menus and simple layouts

  • Mobile-first design that loads fast on phones

 

When your site works well on phones, visitors stay longer and are more likely to buy.

3. Weak or No Calls-to-Action (CTAs)

A CTA is a button or link that tells the visitor what to do next.

 

Examples: “Call Now,” “Get a Quote,” or “Buy Today.”

 

About 70% of small business websites have no clear CTA on their homepage (Iskra-Evtimova).

 

That means customers browse and leave without taking action.

 

CTA Mistakes:

  • No button at all

  • CTA is hidden or not visible

  • Too many CTAs, making it confusing

 

How Weblim Fixes This:

  • We add big, clear CTA buttons

  • Place them where people can see them easily

  • Use strong words like “Book Now” or “Contact Us”

 

A visible CTA helps turn a visitor into a customer.

4. Outdated Design

People judge your business based on how your site looks.

 

In fact, 75% of users judge your credibility by your website design (BusinessDasher).

 

If your site looks old, visitors may think your business is not professional.

 

Signs Your Design is Outdated:

  • Bad colors or fonts

  • Too many popups or ads

  • Content hasn’t been updated in years

 

How Weblim Fixes This:

  • We create clean, modern layouts

  • Use professional fonts and colors

  • Remove clutter and organize your content

 

Your website should look like your business is active, current, and ready to serve.

5. Weak SEO

If your site doesn’t appear on the first page of Google, people won’t find you. 


The top 3 search results get nearly 69% of all clicks (FirstPageSage).


SEO Problems:

  • Wrong or missing keywords

  • No titles, descriptions, or alt text

  • No Google My Business listing

  • Slow loading and broken pages


How Weblim Fixes This:

  • We write content with keywords your customers search

  • Add SEO tags to all pages and images

  • Set up local SEO (Google Business, local listings)


When you show up on Google, more people visit your site and buy.

6. Trust Issues

Even if your site is fast and looks good, some mistakes can still make people leave.

 

Cameroonian shoppers are careful.

 

If your site feels fake or unsafe, they’ll go somewhere else.

 

Red Flags:

  • No contact info (no phone number, no address)

  • Auto-play music or forced downloads

  • Broken links or forms

  • Too many popups

 

How Weblim Fixes This:

  • We add real contact details

  • Secure your site with HTTPS

  • Test all links and fix errors

  • Keep content simple and trustworthy

 

The goal is to make people feel safe and confident when using your site.
