Even If You’re Not a Tech Person.

Owning a website can feel overwhelming—especially when everyone’s talking about SEO audits, UX overhauls, and conversion rates. But here’s some good news: you don’t need to be a developer, designer, or digital wizard to make impactful improvements.

Here are 3 simple things you can do today to make your website better—no coding required.

1. Look at Your Website Like a Visitor (Not the Owner)

You know your content, your goals, and your vibe. But someone landing on your homepage? They don’t. So today, step into their shoes.

• Set a timer for 5 minutes.
• Visit your site like a stranger would (bonus points if you do this on your phone).
• Ask yourself:
  • Can I immediately tell what this website is about?
  • Do the buttons/links make sense?
  • Is anything slow, clunky, or confusing?

📝 Write down three small tweaks you could make for clarity or ease. It might be something as simple as cleaning up a headline, moving a button, or removing a pop-up that shows up too soon.

2. Check Your About Page—And Actually Update It

This is one of the most visited pages on most websites, but it’s also one of the most outdated. (No judgment—this is true for lots of us.)

• Make sure it:
  • Reflects who you are now (not 3 years ago).
  • Speaks to the people you’re trying to attract.
  • Has a photo (yes, people want to see the human behind the site!).
  • Ends with a clear next step (what should they do after reading it?).

⚡️Quick win: Add a button or link that says “Start here,” “Work with me,” or “Explore services.”

3. Compress One Big Image That’s Slowing Things Down

You don’t have to run a full speed test or switch hosting plans today. Just tackle one thing: a big, slow-loading image.

• Go to a blog post or homepage section with a large photo.
• Upload that image to TinyPNG or Sqoosh.
• Replace the original with the compressed version.

📷 Bonus tip: While you’re there, make sure the file name is descriptive (e.g., diy-natural-lotion.jpg instead of IMG_9834.JPG). That’s good for SEO and accessibility.

Final Thoughts

You don’t have to do everything all at once. You don’t have to overhaul your site to make progress. And you definitely don’t have to be techy to improve the experience for your visitors.

Start small. Make one tweak today. Then another tomorrow. They add up.
