There are a few common website mistakes we see over and over. They’re easy to miss and even easier to fix (especially if you’re using Kadence).
Summer is a great time to review your website without overhauling everything. Here are five to look for today:
1. No clear call-to-action above the fold
Make sure your homepage and landing pages have one strong CTA visible as soon as the page loads.
You can use a simple button directing users to another page, a lead-capture form, or even a modal pop-up if you want your form to look like a button while collecting the client’s info on click.

2. Using improper heading tags
We see this one a lot: using a heading tag based on how it looks instead of where it belongs in the content structure.
For example, someone might use an H5 just because it’s smaller even if it follows an H2, which is a no-go for accessibility and SEO.
Kadence makes it easier to stay organized with built-in global heading styles (H1–H6), so you can control the appearance and maintain proper structure. You might need to style a paragraph to look like a heading now and then—just to keep your heading structure SEO-friendly.
With Kadence Blocks 4.0 development in the works, global styles is about to get even better and will help solve this even more. Want a sneak peek? Head over to our Facebook Group to see it in action.
3. Not enough white space
Crowded layouts make content harder to read and scan. Adding a little space between sections, images, and text goes a long way toward creating a clean, comfortable experience.
In Kadence, you can use padding and margin settings to create that breathing room on row layouts, sections, text, forms, buttons, and just about every element you can imagine.
If you want more consistent spacing across your site, clamp controls can help with that too. |

4. Cluttered navigation menus
When your nav menu has too many items, or too many dropdowns, it can overwhelm visitors and make it harder to find what matters.
Try limiting your top-level links to just the essentials. Group secondary links into a dropdown or move the unimportant links to the footer. With Kadence, you can create mega menus, use icons, or even hide certain links on mobile to keep things clean.
5. Ignoring mobile layout
Your site might look great on desktop, but how’s it holding up on phones?
Overlapping content, tiny buttons, awkward spacing, or broken stacking can ruin the experience on smaller screens.
Use Kadence’s responsive controls to adjust padding, font size, and layout per device so everything stays readable and clickable.
Kadence makes it super easy to control what shows up where. In the advanced settings, you can hide or show sections based on device so you can have one layout for desktop and a different one for mobile.
