Have you ever visited different Zambian websites and thought: "Wait... didn't I just see this one?" You're not alone.
Most websites in Zambia have the same look: a plain homepage, a "Welcome to Our Website" message, random stock photos, and maybe a "Contact Us" button hiding at the bottom. That’s it. No style. No vibe. No reason to scroll.
So why do many Zambian websites look like they were built in 2010? And more importantly, how do we fix it?
1. The Copy-Paste Problem
Many web designers in Zambia just copy and paste templates. They take the same layout, swap in a logo, change the color, and call it a day.
It’s cheap, fast, and easy. But it also means your website ends up looking like everyone else's.
A website should be you online. Not a clone of someone else.
2. Lack of Identity
A great website tells your story. It shows who you are, what you do, and why people should care. But most websites in Zambia skip this part.
Instead of telling us what makes their business special, they write long paragraphs filled with "big English" and no clear message.
3. Poor User Experience (UX)
If a visitor lands on your website and gets confused, they’re gone.
We’ve seen websites where:
-
You can’t find what you’re looking for
-
Menus are hidden or broken
-
Pages take forever to load
-
There’s nothing to interact with (boring!)
Imagine walking into a shop where everything is scattered and no one greets you. That’s how a bad website feels.
4. No Mobile Optimization
Most Zambians browse on their phones. But many websites don’t even work well on mobile.
Small text. Broken buttons. Weird layouts. It’s like trying to read a newspaper through a straw.
Your site should work smoothly on any phone, tablet, or laptop.
5. Stock Photos with No Soul
Too many sites use the same smiling white people shaking hands in offices.
Why not show real Zambian faces? Real products? Real places?
Authenticity is what makes people trust you. Not fake photos from the internet.
