Is Your Website Working for You or Against You?

If you're a small business owner, your website should be more than just a placeholder—it should be one of the hardest-working tools in your business. Done right, your website builds trust, answers questions, generates leads, and helps people take action—all while you’re busy doing everything else.

But if your site is outdated, confusing, or slow, it might actually be driving customers away. And no, it's not just about how it looks—it's about how it works.

Let’s run a quick check.

Quick Website Health Checklist

Ask yourself the following five questions:

Ask yourself the following five questions:

1. Is it mobile-friendly?
   Over 60% of users browse on their phones. If your site doesn’t load cleanly on mobile, you’re losing business before the page even finishes loading.

2. Do your services or products make sense within 5 seconds?
   When someone lands on your homepage, can they tell what you do, who it’s for, and how to work with you—quickly?

3. Are there clear calls to action (CTAs)?
   A “Book Now,” “Contact Me,” or “Shop the Collection” button should be obvious and easy to click. Make it effortless for people to take the next step.

4. Is your contact info easy to find?
   Whether it’s a contact form, email address, or clickable phone number, people shouldn’t have to hunt for a way to reach you.

5. Do you feel proud sharing your website link?
   If you hesitate before dropping your URL into a comment, DM, or bio—it’s a sign something isn’t sitting right.

If You Said “No” to More Than One…

It might be time for a refresh.

And don’t worry—you don’t need a total rebrand or a 30-page website. Most of the time, small businesses just need:

• A clean, easy-to-navigate design

• Clear copy that reflects your voice

• Simple SEO setup so you can be found

• A homepage that does the heavy lifting
