A Beautiful Website Isn’t Always a Website That Converts

A website can look amazing and still fail to turn visitors into customers.

After years of building websites with WordPress and Elementor, I’ve learned that good design is only part of the equation.

Here are 5 things I always consider when building a website:

1. Clear messaging Visitors should understand what you offer within a few seconds.

2. A clear call to action Make it easy for visitors to know what to do next, whether that’s booking a call, requesting a quote, or making a purchase.

3. Trust signals Testimonials, client logos, case studies, and real project examples help visitors feel more confident.

4. A smooth user journey Every section should have a purpose. Avoid unnecessary distractions that make it harder for people to take action.

5. Performance matters A slow website can frustrate visitors before they even see what you offer.

My approach is simple: build websites that match the design, work smoothly across devices, and support the client’s business goals.

Because a website shouldn’t just look good. It should work for your business.

What’s the first thing you look at when visiting a new website?

Clear messaging first is so true, a site can look great and still leave visitors unsure what to do next. Good list, Viet.

I built Tests Wise: paste a URL, get a test plan and watch AI run the tests live.

Most small teams ship without a written test plan. Not because they don't care because writing one takes a day nobody has. And running it takes another.

Tests Wise does both:

Paste your site's URL (works with sites behind a login).

AI agents explore up to 8 pages in a real browser and figure out what each one does.

You get prioritized test scenarios steps, expected results, priority as an Excel your QA team or client can use right away. In English or Spanish.

Then an AI agent executes those scenarios live in a real browser, driven through Playwright MCP, and reports what passed, what failed and why, with a screenshot of each step.

Everything is automated software: no scripts, no selectors, no CI to wire up.

Under the hood: FastAPI + PostgreSQL, Redis/RQ workers, Playwright for the crawl, Claude for scenario design and for driving the browser via Playwright MCP, LangGraph for the pipeline. Deterministic exploration, LLM only where it adds value — a full run on an 8-page site costs a few cents.

It's free to try, no card needed: https://app.tests-wise.com/

Demo below 👇 I'd love to hear which site you'd throw at it first.

A screenshot per step is a smart touch, makes failures easy to show a client. How long does a full run take for 8 pages?
