I Redesigned 3 Small Business Websites to Get More Clients (Before and Afters!)

Published 2021-09-07
I ask this because I recently put out a call on my Youtube channel asking my viewers to submit their websites for me to make over. The submissions I got were pretty varied as I would expect, but almost all of them had one thing in common…
They were missing a lot of the elements that make a website seem like it belongs to a real human-centered business.
For some it was phony looking photos... for others it was vague or confusing wording — for many it was a combo platter.
So in this week’s Youtube video, I chose 3 of these viewer submitted websites to diagnose and fix these connection problems. I made over each of their homepages from top to bottom, and I’m gonna share the before-and-afters with you!
Because when you see where these sites started and what they look like now, you’re gonna get some ideas of your own that will help YOU connect more meaningfully with your casual site visitors — turning more of them into warm leads and paying clients than you might be getting today.
So watch the video for possibly my most meaningful makeover video to date.
Have fun, and be sure to write down any improvements you see that you’d like to “borrow” for your own site!

I could binge watch these...I love the content and before and after..much more useful than the average "how to improve your website" YouTube videos.

Watching your video is like getting a crash course in website psychology. It's incredible how you diagnose and fix those connection issues. I'm eager to see the before-and-afters and steal some of those genius ideas for my own site. Thanks for sharing your expertise and making the digital world a better place!

Thank you sir! I’m a new UX Lead working for a small startup. I am taking on the job of redesigning the site and this has been very helpful to see how you think and redesign with intention and clarity.

You are beyond awesome Wes!

These one page sites are a knockout!! So clean and simple. - normally when doing client work, do you write the content or copy from scratch or are you taking the ideas from the client and writing them out to match their tone? How do you come up with the copy of each site?
