✍️ Proofreading 101: Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them (Especially on Your Website)
In the digital world, your words are your brand. A single typo on your website or app can make customers lose trust. Whether you’re publishing product descriptions, blog posts, or service pages, proofreading is non-negotiable.
Here are some of the most common proofreading mistakes—and how to avoid them to keep your site looking professional and polished.
❌ Mistake #1: Relying Only on Spellcheck
Spellcheck is a tool—not a solution.
Spellcheck won’t catch context errors like:
-
“Their” vs “There”
-
“You’re” vs “Your”
-
“Then” vs “Than”
✅ Tip: Use tools like Grammarly or Hemingway Editor, but always do a final human review.
❌ Mistake #2: Publishing Without Reviewing on Mobile
Many users access websites via smartphones, and typos or formatting issues often show up differently on smaller screens.
✅ Tip: Bukisweb ensures mobile-optimized websites that look clean and error-free on every device.
❌ Mistake #3: Skipping the Read-Aloud Test
Reading silently makes it easy to skip over errors your brain “autocorrects.” Reading aloud helps catch awkward phrasing and repeated words.
✅ Tip: Read important content aloud—or use a text-to-speech tool before finalizing any landing pages.
❌ Mistake #4: Inconsistent Formatting
Using different font sizes, heading levels, or inconsistent punctuation creates a messy user experience and damages brand credibility.
