Transcript

This website is crying for help. It's hard to navigate, very unattractive, and it's hurting the brand image of Emily English, retains most popular nutritionist with over 2,000,000 followers on Instagram and TikTok. I love her, by the way. Let's redesign it to open doors for more potential business collaborations and partnerships, make it easy for users to connect, and support the sale of her books and her services. When you have these huge attractions on socials, it's foolish to not leverage it. So we explain in clear and engaging way who Emily is, how she can help, and what makes her stand out. Adding social proof to show press collaborations. Emily worse her first book, which is a number one Sunday Times bestseller, so I'm giving it its space. Not only to sell good, better, again, to show proof, build trust, and position herself as an author and expert. Now a playful interactive part that I would animate to impress and attract and also show what her main area of expertise is followed by a service section. Because Emily is a successful entrepreneur, and even though I don't know her business goals, I would highlight her potential business collaborations such as menu design, consultancy, workshops, better, while making playful, colorful, and attractive vibes to expose her friendly nature. So this is a very rough sketch. I was working with limited images, and I would definitely connect her socials with the website. And I would also animate it to impress and attract. Emily, if you see this, I would love to help you with your website because your amazing personal brand deserves it.
