1. Clarity in the first screen
Within a few seconds, a visitor should know what you do, who it is for and where you are. If your first screen is a slider of stock photos with vague slogans, rewrite it as one clear sentence and one clear button.
2. Designed for phones first
Many of your visitors are on mobile data, one-handed. Check your own site on your phone: can you read the text without zooming? Can you tap the phone number or WhatsApp button?
3. Speed
Heavy images and too many scripts make pages slow. Compress images, avoid autoplay background videos and remove plugins you don’t use.
4. Trust signals that are real
Real photos of your work, team or premises. Clear timings and location. Genuine reviews, if you have them. Never fake testimonials or numbers; customers notice, and it undermines everything else.
5. An obvious contact path
Every page should make the next step easy: a form, a WhatsApp button or both. And someone needs to actually receive and answer those enquiries.
6. Search visibility basics
Unique page titles and descriptions, a sensible page structure, a sitemap and a Google Business Profile that links to the site. These basics matter more than any trick.
7. Know what’s working
Simple analytics tell you which pages get visited and which buttons get tapped. Without them, every change is a guess.
8. Easy to maintain
Prices, timings and offers change. If updating a line of text requires calling a developer, the site will slowly go out of date. Make sure you, or someone you trust, can update it.
Quick self-check: open your site on your phone, pretend you’re a new customer and try to contact yourself in under 30 seconds.
