Today, I\u2019d like to talk about your website. That\u2019s right! <a href=\"https:\/\/www.advicelocal.com\/blog\/local-search-made-easy-part-4\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Your website probably could use a face lift<\/a>. I know my personal branding site, LissaDuty.com, could use some serious updates! <em>(Don\u2019t judge! If I was a cobbler, I probably wouldn\u2019t have any shoes.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m going to dive in a share a few tiny things you can do to make all the difference to the visitor and your bottom line.<\/p>\n<h2>10 Quick Website Updates for The Busy Digital Marketer<\/h2>\n<p><span class=\"callout\">1. First Impressions<\/span><\/p>\n<p>When someone lands on the home page of your website is it easy to understand who you are and what you do? How far down does the user have to scroll to actually find out about you, your products, and services? People want instant satisfaction. You have 10 seconds to grab their attention. If your website doesn\u2019t grab you, how is it supposed to grab anyone else?<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"callout\"> 2. Stock Photos Equal Yuk<\/span><\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s right, stock images are boring and no one wants to visit another boring website. The next time you meet with a client at their office, ask their permission to capture a quick photo of you with them at the conference table. Recruit their marketing person to take the photo on your smartphone. Smartphones nowadays have pretty good cameras in them. Capture the image in HD and be sure you turn the phone sideways for the wide angle. Voila! Instant real image for the home page slider on your website.<\/p>\n<p>You can&#8217;t also avoid using stock photos and we get that. If you have to use a stock photo, then have customizations made to it, just like the one above in this blog post and many others throughout this website.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"callout\">3. Sidebars are Out for Home Pages\/ Full Width is In<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Skip the sidebar on your home page. If you can&#8217;t <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rocksdigital.com\/website-development\/website-revamp\/\">revamp your entire website<\/a>, make a few tweaks to the website template, so the home page doesn\u2019t have a sidebar. Also, make the background color on your website the same on the outer edges as the rest of the pages. It won\u2019t be as obvious to the viewer that it isn\u2019t a full-width website. Sidebars on inside pages were definitely out for a while, but they are back again. It&#8217;s just too hard to provide contact forms<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"callout\"> 4. Make it Feel Real<\/span><\/p>\n<p>What type of website do you have? Is it a branded site with your name? If so, consider changing the voice to first person. I did this with the home page of LissaDuty.com a few years ago and still receive rave reviews and comments about it. People that email me, feel more connected and like they know me. If it isn\u2019t a personal site, but is for a business, add some personality to the copy that matches the social media presence for the brand.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"callout\">5. Create the Unique<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The simple fact is people notice the unique and are more likely to click because it captures their attention. An example of this is, I have custom buttons and social media icons on the header of LissaDuty.com. People want to click because they are curious.<\/p>\n<div id=\"img_override\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-11475\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rocksdigital.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/website-custom-icons-2-1024x255.png\" alt=\"Sample Website Icons\" width=\"100%\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rocksdigital.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/website-custom-icons-2-1024x255.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.rocksdigital.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/website-custom-icons-2-300x75.png 300w, https:\/\/www.rocksdigital.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/website-custom-icons-2-768x191.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"callout\">6. Be Different<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t make the mistake of making your website look like every other digital marketer&#8217;s website. It\u2019s not about their website, it\u2019s about your website and your ideal customer. If the website doesn\u2019t connect to you and the rest of your brand, it will not connect to the prospective customer.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"callout\">7. Custom Doesn\u2019t Always Mean Expensive<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Yes, you really can give your website the custom feel without spending a fortune. Ideas for this include #2 and #4 mentioned above. What about just breaking out from the normal navigation items \u2013 \u201cAbout\u201d, \u201cContact\u201d, etc. If it\u2019s a personal brand website, how about using \u201cEmail Me\u201d in place of \u201cContact Us\u201d? Instead of \u201cAbout\u201d, use \u201cMy Bio\u201d. Don\u2019t go crazy with the navigation item names by using ones that don\u2019t make sense. The idea is to be different from everyone else.<\/p>\n<h3>8. Update Website Visitors on What\u2019s New<\/h3>\n<p>One of the things I practice and preach is building an area into your website design where you can quickly make updates and share special messages with website visitors. On LissaDuty.com I have a \u201cWhat\u2019s Hot with Lissa\u201d section that I can update very quickly and easily. This is a great area to promote new products, services, or drive traffic to something else.<\/p>\n<div id=\"img_override\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-11472\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rocksdigital.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/special-sections-tip-8-1024x116.png\" alt=\"Special Website Section\" width=\"100%\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rocksdigital.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/special-sections-tip-8-1024x116.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.rocksdigital.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/special-sections-tip-8-300x34.png 300w, https:\/\/www.rocksdigital.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/special-sections-tip-8-768x87.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"callout\">9. The Mobile Experience<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Seriously, guys? Is your mobile still broken? With everyone <em>(and their dog) <\/em>having a smartphone these days, if your website isn&#8217;t mobile-friendly, you might as well shut the door and go to bed. The fact is mobile is here, it\u2019s not going away and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rocksdigital.com\/googles-mobile-friendly-test\/\">Google is removing sites<\/a> that are not mobilized from mobile search results.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"callout\">10. Invest in Your Business<\/span><\/p>\n<p>This should go without saying, but I think I need to say it anyway. Take some of those hard earned dollars you are getting from all those consulting gigs and allocate a certain percentage to go to your brand, your website, your social media, your marketing budget. In the past, you could go lean and just be great at social media and getting referrals to keep in business. This isn\u2019t the case as much anymore. When someone refers you to a prospective customer, and that person visits your website, your social media or emails you, you need to give the best impression. This ranges from having an admin email back a grammatically correct reply all the way to how many instances of your company name comes up in search results.<\/p>\n<p>I know I have covered a lot for you to consider. I can\u2019t close without a challenge for you. Here it is:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Over the next 10 days, starting with item #1 on the list, start making a difference on your website. If you don\u2019t have the time to do it or don\u2019t know how, see #10 on the list and hire someone to do it for you.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The first impression is the most important impression! I\u2019m off to go fix LissaDuty.com, because wow, I know I definitely need to do a better job at #2, #3 and #9 on this list.<\/p>\n<div class='tm-tweet-clear'><\/div>\n<div class='tm-click-to-tweet'>\n<div class='tm-ctt-text'><a href='https:\/\/twitter.com\/share?text=Seriously%2C+Your+%23Website+Needs+Help%3A+10+Website+Tips+from+%40LissaDuty+%23RocksDigital+%23DigitalMarketing&#038;url=https:\/\/www.rocksdigital.com\/10-website-tips\/' target='_blank'>Seriously, Your #Website Needs Help: 10 Website Tips from @LissaDuty #RocksDigital #DigitalMarketing<\/a><\/div>\n<p><a href='https:\/\/twitter.com\/share?text=Seriously%2C+Your+%23Website+Needs+Help%3A+10+Website+Tips+from+%40LissaDuty+%23RocksDigital+%23DigitalMarketing&#038;url=https:\/\/www.rocksdigital.com\/10-website-tips\/' target='_blank' class='tm-ctt-btn'>Click To Tweet<\/a><\/p>\n<div class='tm-ctt-tip'><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong><em>What quick and easy changes would you add to this list for others to complete?
