Problematic mobile path
The main action gets lost on a phone, the page is overloaded, or an important route is difficult to complete.

Which website problems appear most often — and what to check on yours
We summarised 220 detailed manual website reviews to show which problems repeated most often, how the patterns differed by industry, and what an owner can check on their own site in a few minutes.
These figures apply only to our working sample. They help choose what to check, but they do not automatically score a specific website.

What to check first
Five concrete problems that recurred during manual website reviews
The sample includes 220 unique websites with enough manual review detail to identify concrete recurring problems. Categories can overlap, so one website may contain more than one issue.
Projects do not lead to an estimate
Photos and examples exist, but after viewing them the visitor cannot see a concrete next step.
The next step gets lost
Booking, estimate, contact or another main action is not clear enough at the moment it is needed.
The website trails behind the current business
Structure or presentation creates a weaker impression than the actual level of the company.
There is an explicit technical failure
The website does not open, a key button fails, a form errors, or a technical issue is visible on the page.
The count is conservative: a signal was counted only when the problem was explicitly described in the review text. These values are not a full prevalence estimate of every possible issue.
Same issue, different manifestation
Different industries tend to have weak points in different parts of the customer path
This is not an industry ranking. It is a clue about where a specific business owner should look more closely.
Personalised reviews explicitly mentioned a mobile-path problem. For this industry, test whether estimate and measurement are obvious on a phone.
A mobile issue was explicitly described; another 10 of 39 mentioned outdated structure or presentation. Review the path from service to doctor and booking.
A conservative text check explicitly finds the project-to-estimate problem. Portfolio should not only prove quality; it should help form an inquiry.
A lost next step or a difficult route from projects to estimate recurred. After a gallery, do not leave the visitor without a clear action.
Small samples cannot represent an entire industry. This section only shows patterns that actually repeated in the available manual reviews.
Broader working sample
Where an explicit issue was confirmed less often — and where more often
The tables do not contain one standardised design score for every industry, so they cannot honestly name the “most modern websites”. What they can compare is the share of websites marked as having a real practical issue.
Boilers / heating5 of 86 · 6%
Rental5 of 56 · 9%
Furniture24 of 131 · 18%
Dentistry34 of 179 · 19%
Windows and doors21 of 82 · 26%
Stretch ceilings19 of 68 · 28%
Repair services15 of 36 · 42%
A low share does not mean every website in the industry is modern or strong. It only means an explicit practical issue was confirmed less often in this specific working sample.

Five checks that are more useful than a generic “website score”
You can run these checks in a few minutes without technical knowledge.
Open it on a phone
Is the next action obvious? Do menus, banners or floating buttons cover important content?
Walk the main customer route
From the entry page to booking, estimate or inquiry. Where do you have to stop and search for the next step?
Click every key action
Phone, form, messenger, booking, estimate. The question is not whether a button exists, but whether the scenario works end to end.
Compare the website with the business today
Are services, team, geography, projects, prices and contacts current?
Check what you measure
Can you see form submissions, phone clicks and other meaningful actions so the next change is not based on guesswork?
