Making Your Website Work: 100 Copy & Design Tweaks for Smart Business Owners

Take a shortcut to making your website work

Want to learn how to drive more business through your website without taking an expensive course or reading a pile of books?

“Making Your Website Work” helps you understand what makes a great website through practical tips you can apply to your website today to get more clients and sales.

It doesn’t teach you all the copywriting formulas, make you learn design rules by heart or generally talk a lot about things in theory.

Instead, it describes real website problems that freelancers, digital agencies, ecommerce shops and SaaS companies face – the same problems you have with your website – and shows you how to fix them through practical tips.

Among other things, you’ll learn:

• How to spot (and fix) vague and self-centered copy
• How to sound trustworthy even without testimonials
• How to structure your homepage to make your message clear
• Why you should delete your Testimonials and FAQ pages
• Where to place call-to-action buttons to get more people to click
• What design mistakes get in the way of your message
