3 Things Your Website Should Be Communicating
October 30, 2023

Picture this: you're scrolling through the endless sea of websites, looking for that one gem that catches your eye. You know, the kind of site that makes you stop and think, "this is exactly what I needed!"  That’s the magic of a website that knows how to communicate effectively – and quickly!


Let's be real, in the digital world, your website is your virtual handshake. And just like in real life, you've got about 15 seconds to make a memorable first impression. So, let's dive into the three must-haves your website should be shouting from the rooftops (or your homepage) in those crucial first moments.

Define your custom brand identity
01.

Who you are


Your website should be like that friend who walks into the room and lights it up with their presence. You know, the one who's unapologetically themselves and instantly makes everyone feel at ease. That's your story – it's what sets you apart, builds trust, and adds that oh-so-important personal touch.


Think of your website as your storybook. When someone lands on your page, they should instantly get a sense of who you are. Whether it's through a captivating tagline, a warm welcome message, or photos that speak a thousand words, make sure your personality shines through. Remember, it's not just about what you do, it's about who you are.

What you do


Okay, now that you've got them interested in who you are, it's time to show off what you do. And not just what you do, but how what you do is the answer to their prayers, the solution they've been searching for, the peanut butter to their jelly!


In those precious seconds, your website should clearly communicate the value of your product or service. Use snappy headlines, engaging visuals, and straightforward language to show your visitors that you've got exactly what they need. It's like saying, "Hey, I know what you're looking for, and guess what? I've got it right here!"

How to take action


Alright, they're hooked. They love your vibe, and they're convinced you've got what they need. Now what? Well, now it's time to make it super easy-peasy for them to connect with you and take the next step.


Your website should have a clear and inviting call to action (CTA). Whether it's a bright "Contact Us" button, a friendly "Get Started" prompt, or an enticing "Shop Now" invitation, make sure it's impossible to miss. Think of it as extending your hand for a handshake – it's your way of saying, "I'm here, I'm ready, let's do this together!"

You ever read your own website and think… “Technically this says what I do, but wow—it sounds like it was written by a corporate ghost with no personality.” You’re not alone. And you’re definitely not boring. But your copy might be trying way too hard to sound “professional.” Which, ironically, is the fastest way to lose people’s attention. Most service providers—especially the seasoned ones—default to safe, watered-down language because they don’t want to sound unqualified. So instead of clarity, personality, or boldness, they write like: "Helping businesses grow with innovative, customized solutions." That sentence could apply to literally anyone. If you’re not naming what you actually do and who you do it for in plain, confident language… you're missing your moment to connect. Here’s what gets people to lean in: Specificity Personality A little guts Let’s flip the switch. Try these swaps: ❌ “We provide expert digital marketing services.” ✅ “We build websites that do the talking—so you can keep doing the doing.” ❌ “We’re committed to quality and customer satisfaction.” ✅ “If it’s not built to last, we don’t touch it. Simple as that.” ❌ “Schedule a consultation today.” ✅ “Let’s figure out if we’re the right crew for your next big job.” ❌ “We offer customized solutions tailored to your business.” ✅ “Whether you’re scaling up or starting fresh, we’ll make sure your brand actually looks as legit as your work.” ❌ “Contact us to learn more.” ✅ “You bring the skills. We’ll bring the strategy. Let’s make it official.” It’s not about sounding clever. It’s about sounding like you, turned all the way up—with a message that hits the right people, right away. And yes, your copy can still be strategic and smart without sounding like it was AI-generated in a navy-blue blazer. Mini Mindset Shift: Your website isn’t just an information hub. It’s a vibe check. It’s how potential clients figure out if they trust you—if they see themselves in your words. And whether they want to give you their money. That happens when you speak clearly, confidently, and like a real human who gets what they’re going through. So if your website sounds like it could belong to anyone in your industry—that’s the red flag. It should sound like you and only you. 👇 If your current site is giving “blah blah industry standard” but your business is giving “badass results and built-on-reputation,” we need to align your words with your actual value. Start by re-reading your homepage out loud. Does it sound like how you actually talk? Does it name who you help and what changes for them ? If not, it’s time to shake off the safe zone and bring the bold. Let’s make your website sound like the expert you already are.
