The first things that come to mind for me are imagery, colour palette and typography. But if i had to choose just one, i would say typography - i think it can have a huge impact on the overall vibe of a website and can convey a lot about the brand personality.

Hi Grant, I love the graphics you are using - i think they are really fun and memorable. The one thing I will comment on is that I had to dig a little to understand what it is you do. I think that could be made a bit more clear with a slightly updated layout. Aside from that I think you have all the elements there - awesome brand, clear services, great testimonials.

Hello! I tried this out and it worked great, thank you! So far I've applied it to my homepage (see link below). https://tinycoastdigital.com/ Perhaps this is a silly question, but I was hoping that maybe the animation would only go from the top of the page to the footer. So rather than continuing, the animation stops at the footer and only resumes if you scroll back to the top of the page. Does anyone know if this is possible and how it might be achieved? Thanks so much 🙂

Beautiful website!! well done 👏

Looks great!

Hi @WorkplaceCompanion, I think your website is looking really good! One note: "more" featured on the first page isn't a great call to action. Perhaps try something a little more action oriented like "How we do it" or "Discover our tools." Also, if you're open to more of a longer scrolling page, I wonder if it might make sense to use your current cover page as a hero image where people can just scroll down to learn more opposed to having people click into a new environment. One last note would be to move up your logo wall so it can be used as a source of social proof to enforce your content. This could work well right after your first block of text "we convert business challenges into ....." Overall, i think the design is clean, and you have a lot of great content. All the best with your new company 🙂

I think before getting into the language you want to use for your call to action, it is best to start with the goal(s) of your page. What is your intention for this page - what do you want people to do next? When you stop and think about how someone is moving through your website, and the actions you'd like them to take, the position of you CTAs along with supporting text becomes much clearer. From there I think you can get into a bit more experimentation around actual copy, using action oriented text, colour, urgency and so on.

Hello! Congratulations on your new blog! If you have taken a look at your analytics and you aren't seeing any traffic coming in from organic search results, you'll wan to first make sure your website is indexed. When a website is indexed, Google can return your pages in search results based on a persons search intent. If your website isn't already indexed you can submit a sitemap to search console. Next up you want to think about the goals of your website and what you want to rank for. Once you have an understanding of your goals and the kind of content you want to rank for, you can think about meeting search intent through your website articles. Moz has some really great articles on this: https://moz.com/blog/search-intent-and-seo-a-quick-guide Based on the keywords you want to rank for you, you can also consider your overall website structure, title tags and meta descriptions. Here's a great guide: https://moz.com/beginners-guide-to-seo I hope this helps! 🙂

The website looks great!! And congratulations on the book and your success to date 🙂 A few observations, not even suggestions, but may be worth mentioning if you are looking to optimize for conversion: The Journal Page - This isn't readily clear to me that this is meant to take on the form of a blog. Perhaps from the nav, i might think this is a second offering (like a graduate journal) for purchase. Perhaps the format, title, or location in nav could be updated. Buy Now Page - I love the testimonial at the top but it takes up a lot of room above the fold. If i am ready to click the buy page, I might prefer to see the purchase options right away, without having to scroll or question if I am in the right place. For the nav, i wonder if you could clean it up a bit so you can keep it all on one line. Perhaps you could have home, buy online, and buy in store, and reviews. Not necessary, but if it was me personally, I would consider moving contact to the footer. I might also consider moving journal to the footer, and adding content from the journal to other pages using the summary block. Again, these are just a few observations. Your website and product are beautiful - well done and congrats 🙂

Hi Alison, I think your site is looking great. The colour palette is lovely - I really enjoy the earthy tones. In my opinion, some of the colours could be adjusted to make reading content (such as the navigation) a bit easier. Aside from that, working on some of the alignment of text and photos could help add some extra polish 🙂 Not necessary, but you may also want to consider a logo at some point to help make your brand more recognizable. Great work so far and best of luck with everything.

Hi Hannah, If I were in your position and my website was selling well and stopped rather abruptly, the first thing I would look at is my analytics. If you haven't made any major adjustments to your website, I'd want to take a look to see if traffic has dropped off significantly and if so, from what channels (social, paid, organic), and to what pages or products. From there, you should have a better idea of how to address the problem. If, however, traffic has remained consistent and your conversions (sales) have fallen dramatically, consider the usability of your site, and if you have made any changes recently to your overall navigation. Hope that helps and best of luck wth everything 🙂

@HunterD I used a very helpful tool from @Spark_plugin 😊 Their product has lots of other great features too - well worth checking out!

@HunterD Thank you! I really appreciate it 😊

A tip that can be very helpful in determining what your audience is looking for is to also use Google Auto Complete. It will give you a sense of the keywords people are using and the problems they are trying to solve. This can be extremely helpful in how you structure your content, the headings, and keywords you use. Consider how you can provide valuable content in the form of how-to guides. Make your content user friendly. For example, break down huge chunks of copy with headings, breakdown content into chapters or sections if necessary, and use anchor links so people can easily access the information most valuable to them. Also be mindful of internal linking, and using external links that are of a high quality and recent. As always, make sure not to be spammy with keywords, and write as you would naturally.

Hi there, I am working on a website using the gallery tool. I've selected the Slideshow Full and I'm using the Fullwidth setting. I've added a small description under each picture, but there is a lot of padding around the descriptions and it looks sloppy. Does anyone have any idea how to reduce the padding under the descriptions? Any help is very appreciated! Thank you 🙂
