Home Page Design Tips

About this episode

This episode discusses essential tips for designing an effective home page that clearly communicates what a business does.

Quick question: If someone landed on your home page right now, would they know what you do in nano seconds? Or would they have to scroll, squint, and guess? Most home pages fall into one of two traps: they're either cluttered and confusing, or they're an image desert with no actual words explaining what you do. Either way, visitors can't figure out what you offer—so they just leave. Your home page isn't a novel. And it's not a photo gallery. It's a receptionist. It should greet people, tell them what you do, and point them where they need to go. That's it. In this episode, we break down exactly what your home page needs to do (and what it definitely doesn't need to do): The billboard test—can someone understand what you do at 70mph? Why your header area matters more than you think How to prove you're awesome without just saying "we're awesome" over and over Plus, using AI as a tool (not a crutch) to evaluate and improve your page If your home page hasn't been updated in a while—or you're not totally sure it's doing its job—this one's for you.
