Quickly Improve the Readability of Your Website

2/23/2021

0 Comments

 
Are you curious how you can improve the readability of your website? You work for hours crafting the perfect blog post or website page, so why aren’t people taking a few minutes to read what you wrote?

​
Poor readability is a big reason why website visitors leave your website too soon. 

How can you improve the readability of your website? 
  1. Put a paragraph break after every one to two sentences​
  2. Break text up into bullets or numbered lists
  3. ​Use headings and subheadings to break up the text and improve "skimability"
  4. Use a font that's large enough, but not too large​
  5. Keep text left-aligned, not centered
  6. Use images to increase understanding
  7. Aim for about a 5th grade reading level​

Ready Set Go Website Design Named One of the Best Web Design Firms in Fort Worth

10/20/2020

Best Web Designers in Fort Worth
I feel so honored to be named alongside much larger web design firms in Fort Worth, Texas as one of the top web design firms in our city.

As a freelance website designer, I am different than big design firms. We each have our own ways of helping our customers.

While the bigger firms create powerful and complex websites, along with full branding and logo design, I specialize in helping small family-owned businesses and solopreneurs get a simple website that meets their business' needs.

Along with the simpler, yet clean and clear design, the websites I create are built in Weebly, making it easy for business owners to make updates on their own later.

If you're a small business looking for a website that perfectly suits your business' needs, I'd love to talk. Give me a call or fill out the form on my Contact page and set up a time to Zoom. I'd love to help you and your business!

Don't put your email address on your website

2/5/2020

I visited a local website today and they had a HUGE list of email addresses of previous students.

That's a great way to get your email hacked!

Spammers can use a software program called a 'bot' to search hundreds of websites looking for exposed email addresses.

I had mistakenly thought that having the email address "hidden" inside a link would be OK, but it isn't.

So what to do?
Don't put your email address on your website. Find out what to do instead.

Do you have the content, but need help making the website look good?

12/15/2019

"I made a website myself so all the content is there. I just need a professional touch."

This was posted in a group I'm in on Facebook.

Personally, I think creating the content can be harder than creating the design of the website, but not everyone agrees.

How about you? Do you have the content for your website, but just need a professional touch making it come to life?

I'd love to help!

There is more to creating a great website than just good content.
A good website needs:
  • A well-thought out plan for the page structure
  • An enticing heading that calls the visitor to action
  • Search engine optimization (SEO) so the website can be found on through search
  • Internal and external links
  • A footer with all the necessary information
  • Mobile-responsiveness so it looks good on a phone
  • Images that are properly formatted

If you're in the process of launching your business, you probably know exactly what you want to say to your potential customers, but not have the slightest idea how to bring that vision to life.

I'd love to help.

Expert Tips for a Great About Me Page

10/25/2019

2 Comments

 
The hardest website page to create is the About Me page. 
It's so hard to know what to say! 
And to make it more confusing, the experts say that your About Me page isn't really about you; it's about your visitors and their problem and how you're the best person to solve it. 
I asked some copywriting experts for their top tips on how to create a great About Me page. 
Be sure to visit their websites for more of their copywriting goodness!

"A good About page should NOT read like a resume. Your visitor went to that page to learn more about the person and philosophies behind the company. As with any writing, engaging the reader right away is critical. Make sure they feel like you know and understand their problem before telling them why you are the best company to provide the solution to their problem. Keep the paragraphs short. Add a testimonial or two if you can. Finally, end with a specific call to action, just like you would on any other page."

"Here are the steps that I follow:
1. Create a benefit driven headline.
2. Describe the problem that they (the customer) has
3. What solution the business provides for the customer
4. Explain the process
5. Testimonials
​6. A clear Call to Action (CTA) with steps in best."

"Your about page is never really about you. Shock horror, I know! It’s about how you make your clients feel. Done well, your clients will feel connected, supported and excited to work with you! Your clients don’t buy from you because of ‘what’ you do. They don’t even buy because of ‘how’ you do what you do. They buy from you for ‘you’!

"Your about page is a powerful tool to connect with your clients. Connection sparks conversation. And as a natural by product of conversation, conversions flow.

​"My biggest tip about writing an about page is to remember that your about page is a ‘conversation’ that enables your visitors to get to know you. Your story empowers them to make a buying decision. In real life when you meet someone they might ask you: Who are you? What do you do? What does that involve? How long have you been doing it? Where are you based? Why do you do that? Your About page should emulate this experience of encountering you for the first time."

Jennifer Rowe, Creative Services

"When you’re writing an “about me” page, consider what your target client needs to know about your qualifications, experience, and philosophy to convince them to hire you. If your clients are corporate employees, they’ll likely be interested in your past positions, certifications, and professional accomplishments; a client base of professional dog walkers is probably interested in a much different set of credentials."

Do you have a new business and you need more customers to make ends meet?
Have you tried posting on social media, but you still don’t get as many customers as you’d like?

Here are two things you need to do to find customers online.

Two things you need to do to find customers online

You find customers online the same way you find customers in real life: through marketing and building relationships.

By relationships, I mean you have built the know, like, and trust factor with people, whether that’s online or in real life.


Let’s dig a little deeper into each of these ideas.
