    Watch a bunch of these, and then try to critique your site like he does, then implement the changes:

    https://youtube.com/playlist?lis…

    Key take-always I took from watching those videos is to ask these questions about your website;

    Does your website:

    Say what you are looking for?

    Say what you want the viewer to do?

    Show how your different from the competition.

    Say/show what you offer.

    Say who you work with/for (your client niche, you can’t work for everyone, not everyone is the right client for you)

    Show that you take your work seriously.

    ———

    Currently you know you don’t answer those questions or demonstrate those things with your current website.

    • Frankly be as direct as you can. Say “I’m a multidisciplinary Designer from print to ux. I work with startups and design agencies...shapesalad
    • Want to hear how I can grow your business or solve your design needs: [Arrange a call back] < this is a big ass button.shapesalad
    • Don’t waste people’s time with your confusing art direction visual comms. Say simply what business problems you solve. How you add value. Why you are good.shapesalad
    • Also decide if you’re going full time or running a studio. If you’re looking to go full time then ditch the .studio URL and make a cv/portfolio site instead.shapesalad
    • Also nothing stopping you from having multiple websites for different purposes.shapesalad
    • Pick tops 5 case study projects. Show the behind scenes thinking and process.shapesalad
