Hey Reader ,

I know I've been talking a lot about the copy and content on your website lately, and that's because it's so important! But there are other elements that matter too, so let's take a quick look at some common website mistakes to avoid:

Making it all about you: Putting the focus on your credentials, educational background, and personal journey.

Content overload: Overwhelming visitors with too much information, making it hard for them to focus.

No clear direction: Failing to provide a clear goal or call to action, leaving visitors unsure of their next steps.

Cheesy stock imagery: Relying on generic visuals that don't resonate with your brand or audience.

Vague and overused language: Falling into the trap of using boring phrases like "find your purpose" or "live authentically" without providing tangible meaning.

Here's a better approach:

Center your site around your ideal client: Address their pain points, desires, and aspirations. Paint a vivid picture of how their lives can be transformed by working with you.

Optimize your content: Make it easy to read and digest. Break up large blocks of text with bullet points and use white space strategically.

Define your goal: What do you want visitors to do on your site? Guide them towards a specific action, whether it's booking a call, signing up for your newsletter, or purchasing a product.

Choose high-quality imagery: Select images that resonate with your brand and evoke emotion in your audience. Avoid generic stock photos and consider investing in professional brand photography if possible.

Use compelling messaging: Craft emotive language that speaks directly to your dream clients' desires and pain points. Forge a deep connection that inspires them to take action.

If this sounds like a LOT…

I understand.

Building a website that connects with your ideal clients and grows your client base is a big endeavor!
