A comprehensive, prioritized strategy to transform your website from "homemade" to professional, boost SEO visibility, and convert more visitors into students.
Your website has a strong foundation with excellent personal content and fast loading times. However, it's currently held back by significant layout and design issues that create a confusing first impression.
By focusing on the 5 prioritized areas below, you can dramatically improve your site's professional appearance, search visibility, and conversion rate.
Five prioritized action items to transform your website, ordered by impact and urgency.
Completely redesign the homepage. Implement a professional hero section with a clear headline, value proposition, and a call-to-action button. Remove all duplicate sections.
Visitors currently leave before finding content. A proper hero section will immediately communicate your value and guide users to courses.
Implement on-page SEO. Add a compelling site-wide meta description and fix the heading structure to accurately reflect page content. This is crucial for being found on Google.
Without proper SEO, potential students cannot find you on Google. These fixes will dramatically improve search visibility and click-through rates.
Adopt a more professional color palette. Use a more muted, trustworthy color scheme (e.g., navy blue, dark grey) and use your current green as an accent color.
Current colors are overwhelming and unprofessional. A refined palette will build trust and make content easier to read, reducing bounce rates.
Enhance user navigation. Add clear "call-to-action" buttons on all pages and consider adding filtering options to the Courses page.
Clear CTAs guide users to take action. Without them, visitors get lost and leave. Improved course navigation helps users find the right training faster.
Refine contact points. Use a native Squarespace form to remove third-party branding and add accreditation logos (like City & Guilds) to the footer.
Third-party branding looks unprofessional. Accreditation logos build trust. Complete contact information makes it easy for students to reach you.
These improvements can be implemented directly in Squarespace without coding. Start with the Critical priority items for immediate impact.
