Let's face it, in today's fast-paced digital world, your website is your business's first impression! Make it a good one! You do not want this to be boring!

It is your storefront, your brand identity, and your chance to make a lasting impression on potential customers. However, the reality is that many business owners overlook the importance of having an engaging and visually appealing website.

Lack of Visual Appeal

Your website's visual appeal is the first thing that catches the attention of visitors. If your website is dull and uninviting, it's likely that your visitors won't stick around for long. In fact, studies show that people form a first impression within 50 milliseconds of visiting a website. If your website doesn't have an eye-catching design, you risk losing potential customers.

Quality and quantity of your images are key aspects of your overall website design, that speak loudly to your customers, read more about how to pick the rights ones!

Lack of Relevant & Concise Content

Your website's content should be relevant, informative, and engaging. If your website is full of industry jargon and technical terms, it's likely that your visitors will quickly lose interest. People want to quickly find the information they need, so it's important to organise your content in a clear and concise manner.

Big wordy paragraphs are going to put people off very quickly too - this is what your blog area is for! - so keep your descriptions short, concise and informative!

Lack of sense of who you and your business are

A website is there to be a reflection of who you and your business are. Put yourself in your customer's shoes - what would you want to know about someone before you chose to work with/buy from them?

This is especially important when YOU are the service (such as a coach). Learn how to make sure your website sounds like you here!

Lack of Mobile Responsiveness

In today's mobile-driven world, a mobile-responsive website is no longer an option - it's a necessity! Everyone is always on the go and relies heavily on their mobile devices, so if your website is not mobile-responsive, it's likely that visitors will quickly leave and never return.

Lack of Call to Action

Your website's purpose is to encourage visitors to take action, whether it's to buy a product, subscribe to a newsletter, or book a consultation. If your website doesn't have clear and compelling calls to action, it's unlikely that visitors will take the desired action.

Its really important to create clear and obvious pathways for your customers to take to get them to do what you want them to! Whether that is to purchase a product or book a conversation with you!
