The Improvement Roadmap

Five prioritized action items to transform your website, ordered by impact and urgency.

#1 Critical

Homepage Layout

ISSUE: The above-the-fold area is empty, and the page has repeating, oversized elements requiring excessive scrolling.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:

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.

IMPLEMENTATION STEPS:
  • Add Hero Section with headline: "City & Guilds Electrical Training in Redditch"
  • Include sub-headline: "Expert-led courses for every stage of your electrical career"
  • Add prominent "View Our Courses" CTA button
  • Create Trust Bar with City & Guilds logo and "30+ Years Combined Experience"
  • Design Featured Courses grid (3-4 popular courses)
  • Add "Why Choose Us?" section with key differentiators
  • Include testimonials section with student quotes
  • Add About Us snippet introducing Alex and Sam
  • End with final call-to-action section
EXPECTED IMPACT:

Visitors currently leave before finding content. A proper hero section will immediately communicate your value and guide users to courses.

#2 High Priority

Search Engine Optimization (SEO)

ISSUE: The site is missing fundamental SEO elements like a meta description and has poorly structured H1 tags.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:

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.

IMPLEMENTATION STEPS:
  • Add meta description: "RenewElecTraining offers expert-led City & Guilds electrical training courses in Redditch. From the 18th Edition to Level 2 & 3 Diplomas and PAT Testing, our hands-on courses are designed for real-world success."
  • Fix homepage H1 to single tag: "City & Guilds Electrical Training in Redditch"
  • Use H2 tags for section titles (Featured Courses, Why Choose Us, etc.)
  • Improve page titles: "Electrical Training Courses in Redditch | RenewElecTraining"
  • Ensure all images have descriptive alt text (already done well)
  • Add meta keywords: electrical training, City and Guilds, electrician training Redditch
EXPECTED IMPACT:

Without proper SEO, potential students cannot find you on Google. These fixes will dramatically improve search visibility and click-through rates.

#3 High Priority

Design & Color Scheme

ISSUE: The bright yellow and green color palette feels unprofessional and can be difficult to read.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:

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.

IMPLEMENTATION STEPS:
  • Primary Color: Dark Blue/Navy (#0A2342) - conveys trust and professionalism
  • Secondary Color: Dark Grey (#4A4A4A) - for text and secondary elements
  • Accent Color: Muted Green (#2CA58D) - honors "Renew" brand, use for buttons/highlights
  • Background: Off-White (#F7F7F7) - easier on eyes than pure white
  • Remove bright yellow header completely
  • Ensure consistent color scheme across all pages
  • Remove distracting green dotted borders around images
  • Use subtle shadows instead of heavy borders
EXPECTED IMPACT:

Current colors are overwhelming and unprofessional. A refined palette will build trust and make content easier to read, reducing bounce rates.

#4 Medium Priority

User Experience (UX)

ISSUE: The navigation is functional but could be improved. The "Courses" page lacks features to help users find what they need.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:

Enhance user navigation. Add clear "call-to-action" buttons on all pages and consider adding filtering options to the Courses page.

IMPLEMENTATION STEPS:
  • Add "Learn More" or "Book Now" buttons to each course card
  • Fix Courses page title from "Store 2" to "Courses" or "Our Electrical Courses"
  • Display course duration and level on course cards
  • Add filtering/sorting by course type (Beginner, Advanced) or level
  • Place CTAs strategically: hero section, end of About Us page, bottom of all pages
  • Ensure phone number and email visible in footer on all pages
  • Add breadcrumb navigation for better orientation
EXPECTED IMPACT:

Clear CTAs guide users to take action. Without them, visitors get lost and leave. Improved course navigation helps users find the right training faster.

#5 Medium Priority

Contact & Footer

ISSUE: The contact form uses Jotform branding, and the footer is missing key trust signals.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:

Refine contact points. Use a native Squarespace form to remove third-party branding and add accreditation logos (like City & Guilds) to the footer.

IMPLEMENTATION STEPS:
  • Replace Jotform with native Squarespace form builder
  • Add City & Guilds accreditation logo to footer
  • Include contact information in footer: phone, email, address
  • Add opening hours to contact page
  • Display social media links (but smaller, not oversized)
  • Remove duplicate newsletter signup sections
  • Consider adding WhatsApp contact option
  • Add trust badges and certifications
EXPECTED IMPACT:

Third-party branding looks unprofessional. Accreditation logos build trust. Complete contact information makes it easy for students to reach you.
