We’re back around to website month, so take a couple of minutes to let us know what you’d like your site (or online presence) to look like at the end of this month.
Everybody saw some great results from just small changes to their sites this past October (I’m still seeing benefits from the font change suggestion from Brit) so I’m excited to see what we can come up with this go ’round. We’re going to be focusing on incorporating your messaging into your site for April, so setting a goal around that might be a good idea. If you’ve got a different goal in mind though, feel free to add it below!
Remember when posting your goal that nothing’s too large or too small. You may need to take April to launch a new site or just spruce up what you already have and that’s just fine.
A few tips on your goals…
If you feel overwhelmed, choose something small
Keep your goals as SMART (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, Time-specific) as possible, and no shame if you don’t finish, the point is to get out there and try.
Take some time to comment on at least one other person’s goal with encouragement, insight, or a thoughtful question.Hey everyone,
I’m back again and this is the perfect month to return I see. So my goal for this month is to make a cleaner and more straighforward site that shows off my work. If you could please provide me feedback on my website, but I should warn you my project page is still a work in progress at the moment.
Goodluck to everyone on this month’s goal. 🙂
Hi Kehira!
I love your updated logo!
OK…so one thing that jumped out at me, is that if I were someone looking for development work, I can’t tell whether you can help me or not from your home page.
You have your skills listed, but they’re buried on your About page. You’ve got all this experience listed on GitHub (it looks like your project site is down), but I have to click through two pages to get to it. Most clients will simply move on to another candidate before they dig that deep…so brag! Pick one or two things you’re really proud of and get it out there!
Let them know who you develop for, and how it will help their business.
Your simplicity is great though. If you can give your leads a cleaner, more informative experience you’ll be well on your way. Hope that helps!

I’ve been on the fence about my website goal this month (I really want to overhaul it, but it probably isn’t the best use of my time right now), and it’s going to be really pushing my big-name projects on all my web presences.
Thanks to Skyword I was invited to Samsung’s and Cintas’ writing teams (I swear it took 8 months before I heard back from them), and that really seems to resonate with potential clients, so I’m putting them on my home page, as well as in the first paragraph of my LinkedIn. It’s a small change, but I think it’s going to make a big impact (especially on LinkedIn.)
Thanks for the feedback. I’ll integrate it in the coming week and report back to ya.
Sounds good!
I went through my site, LinkedIn, and online profiles and added my new “big name” clients.
On my site, it jumped the rate of click-throughs from 13% to 43%, which is huge. I’m also noticing more people naturally bringing up the names in conversation, which means they’re resonating…just one though, so I may replace the other one day.
