How I work

Most projects follow the same pattern. This is how I improve small business websites.

  1. 1.Understand what the site is trying to do
  2. 2.Identify where visitors get stuck
  3. 3.Prioritise the few changes that matter most
  4. 4.Turn that into clear, practical actions

Optional support is available if you’d like help applying the changes.

How I improve small business websites

Most projects follow a similar pattern. These are the changes that usually make the biggest difference.

Unclear homepage messaging

Visitors don’t immediately understand what the business offers or what to do next.

What I change

Clarify the main service, location, and primary action above the fold.

Result

People understand the offer quickly and are more likely to get in touch.

Too many competing calls to action

Pages ask visitors to do too many things at once.

What I change

Simplify the page flow and focus attention on one primary action.

Result

Higher engagement and clearer next steps.

Website looks fine but feels generic

The site doesn’t inspire confidence or reflect the quality of the business.

What I change

Improve structure, spacing, and hierarchy to create a more professional first impression.

Result

A site that feels more considered and trustworthy.

What clients usually leave with

  • A clear priority list
  • Fewer opinions, more decisions
  • Confidence about what to change — and what not to
