Katewood78 Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 Hi, could I please get feedback on the design of my website? The purpose behind the site is to provide information about my services and about the techniques I use. Is the 'my story' section on the about page helpful or too much information? the site is https://avocado-lemon-cjhg.squarespace.com/ It's not published yet. Link to comment

Solution JessicaM Posted August 12 Solution Share Posted August 12 On 8/10/2024 at 5:28 PM, Katewood78 said: @JessicaM my website is published: RenewyourmindEFT.com It needs a logo! Once you add the logo, you can remove the "home" link in the top navigation because the logo will take people back to the homepage. Also I would put the Disclaimer page link in the footer... that will clean up the top navigation, make it easier for people to find stuff, and get rid of the lines wrapping in the navigation. The Book Appointment button - I would capitalize the word Appointment and give it a little more padding - it feels kind cramped around the text. Be sure the text at the top of the home page is super clear... this is the first and only opportunity you have to hook people when they land on your site. They'll decide in .05 seconds based on what they see whether or not to stick around or leave. It's a little confusing just from the top text what you offer... is this therapy? Or are you selling a course/techniques to accomplish it? Add some of the testimonials to the homepage. Just be consistent with the button capitalization... some words are capitalized, and some aren't. I would add a footer too... it's a good place to put the links (so people don't have to scroll back up), contact info, logo, social media logos, etc. If you don't want to add a footer, at least add a 'back to top' button. Most people don't read text, they skim it... if there's too much text to read, then people will skip it. Making the columns more narrow and breaking up the text (like the About Me paragraph) will make sure it's more likely to be read. The About Me section is good - you identified who you were 'before', explained the problem that led you to the solution (EFT/EC), and showed how it transformed you. Anything that shows a transformation (whether it's your story or a testimonial) is going to hook people and convert them into clients. They're landing on your website because they have a problem and are looking for you to solve it. Your own story helps to show that you've 'been there, done that' - and that you can help them too. There's a pretty big open space in the middle of the About page (love the dog pic!) I think you'll probably get a higher convert rate for booking appointments if people can book directly on your site. Calendly is free and is a good one to use. Services page - some of the paragraph text is bold and some is regular... ? Also some of the text on the image is hard to read. Resources page - rename the url to /resources There's lots of extra space in the sections on that page too. Replace the default favicon! Hope this is helpful... let me know if you have questions about any of it 🙂 Katewood78 1 Jessica Miller | Squarespace Website Designer https://www.jessicamiller.work jessica@jessicamiller.work Search the blog and get Squarespace tips to your inbox https://www.jessicamiller.work/blog Want to pick my brain or get help?

Katewood78 Posted August 25 Author Share Posted August 25 I am addressing your comments, and am so grateful that you took the time to look at my website and respond!! Do you know how I can remove the 'disclaimer' navigation button from the header without removing the page from the site? I set up a disclaimer button in the footer, which is still under construction. I'm trying to figure out a good logo, too. Thanks again Kathy Link to comment

That will allow the page to still exist, but not show up in the top navigation 🙂 Jessica Miller | Squarespace Website Designer https://www.jessicamiller.work jessica@jessicamiller.work Search the blog and get Squarespace tips to your inbox https://www.jessicamiller.work/blog Want to pick my brain or get help?

Katewood78 Posted September 2 Author Share Posted September 2 I have addressed all the issues you brought up regarding my website, but I don't understand how to rename the url to /resources on the resources page. What will that do? I rephrased the text at the top of the home page, does it seem more clear to you? I am still trying to figure out what to say there. Also, I didn't adjust the long text on the about page because I summarized those sections on the home page, and if someone wants more info, I believe they will go through it. Do you have a Venmo? I'd like to buy you a coffee 🙂 Link to comment
JessicaM Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 @Katewood78 To rename the URL, click the gear icon on the page to get to the settings, then under General you'll see "URL Slug". Renaming it /resources instead of /resources-1 is better for SEO so that you will rank higher in search results. The top is definitely more clear. You could even do "Change the painful beliefs that run your life from the background of your mind." That's even more quickly digestible... you only have .05 seconds to grab someone's attention! I just realized you painted the bird artwork - it's lovely 🙂 Aw, thanks for that! I appreciate it. My venmo is @Jessica-Miller-1313 🙂 Katewood78 1 Jessica Miller | Squarespace Website Designer https://www.jessicamiller.work jessica@jessicamiller.work Search the blog and get Squarespace tips to your inbox https://www.jessicamiller.work/blog Want to pick my brain or get help?
