Built for the CEO's approval.
- Aesthetic-driven decisions ("does it look on-brand?")
- Vague value proposition ("we help brands grow")
- One CTA (or none) buried below the fold
- Vanity metrics: bounce rate, time on page, "engagement"
- Written for the internal review, not the buyer's decision
- Trust signals treated as decoration, if used at all
Result: 1% conversion is "a good day."
