The Top 3 Mistakes Catholic Organizations Make With Their Websites (and How to Fix Them)

Your website is more than a digital brochure—it’s your first impression. Avoid these common pitfalls that can turn visitors away:

1. Cluttered Layouts

When too much is happening on your homepage, visitors feel overwhelmed and leave. Simplify your design. Use plenty of white space, a clear hierarchy, and focus on one main call to action.

2. Unclear Messaging

If visitors can’t immediately understand who you are, what you do, and why it matters, they’ll click away. Use clear, concise language that highlights your mission and the benefits of getting involved.

3. Neglecting Updates

An outdated website sends the wrong message. Regularly refresh your content with event updates, success stories, or blogs. Show visitors your ministry is alive and active.

Fixing these issues transforms frustration into trust and makes your website a tool for growth.
