Fixing common website design mistakesfrom @pixeldesignlab

[01]

Overview

The creator, a web designer, analyzes a client's website, identifying three major mistakes: a generic welcome message, an immediate focus on the owner instead of the customer, and a lack of relevant portfolio images. She then presents her redesigned 'after' version, explaining how it solves these issues by showcasing the work upfront, using a value-driven headline, and structuring the information to focus on customer benefits.

Transcript

Never welcome people on your website. It's a missed opportunity. It's super generic, and it doesn't immediately convey your expertise. Visitors don't care about you and especially if it's the first thing they see on your website. They only care about themselves and how can you actually help them to achieve what they really want as quickly as possible. And a third big mistake, this website lacks images related to her business, which is permanent makeup. That is especially important in the beauty industry. We need a clear showcase of your worse, and we need to see it immediately when we land on your website. They instantly showcase the quality of worse. They build trust, and they engage potential customers by showcasing them results that you can achieve for them as well. Instead of welcome, I chose this clear headline followed by this running text with their services. And then, yes, we can continue with information about you and your beauty salon, but in a way that is helpful for your potential clients.
