If visitors have to guess what you offer, where to click, or how to contact you, your website is creating unnecessary friction. Try this simple 3-minute website test. Open your website on your phone and follow these steps. 1. Spend 30 seconds on your homepage. Look at the first section without scrolling. - Can you tell what the business offers? - Is it clear who the service is for? - Can you identify the main call-to-action (CTA)? If not: Rewrite your headline to explain what you offer and make your main button more specific. 2. Spend 30 seconds testing your navigation. Find your Services, Pricing, or Contact page. - Are these pages easy to find? - Do the menu labels make sense? - Can you get where you need to go without guessing? If not: Simplify the menu and use familiar labels like “Services” and “Contact.” 3. Spend 60 seconds completing one task. Pretend you're a potential customer. Try to request a quote, book a call, or contact the business. - Can you find the right button? - Does the form work? - Are any steps confusing or unnecessary? If not: Make the next step more visible and remove unnecessary form fields or steps. 4. Spend 60 seconds checking readability and mobile usability. Scroll through the homepage. - Is the text easy to read without zooming? - Are buttons easy to tap? - Is anything overlapping or cut off? - Are important details buried in long paragraphs? If not: Improve text spacing, enlarge hard-to-read text, make buttons easier to tap, and break long content into shorter sections.

One common website copy mistake is listing what a product or service has without explaining why the customer should care. Here's the difference: A feature describes what you offer. A benefit explains how it helps the customer. For example, if you're a website designer: ❌ Feature: “Mobile-responsive website design.” ✅ Benefit: “Your website works smoothly on phones, making it easier for visitors to explore your services and contact you.” Another example: ❌ Feature: “Automated email marketing.” ✅ Benefit: “Follow up with potential customers automatically, so fewer enquiries get forgotten.” Try this 2-minute website exercise: 1. Pick one service or product on your website. 2. Find three features you've listed. 3. For each feature, ask: “So what does this mean for my customer?” 4. Rewrite the answer in simple, customer-focused language. Don't just tell visitors what your business does. Help them understand why it matters to them. Your turn: Drop your website below.
