6 ways to engage with your website audience
6 ways to engage with your website audience

Imagine this: you’ve got a website up and running and it gets a respectable amount of traffic, but you know you can do better.

Maybe you have a goal to reach a certain number of page views per month. Or maybe you want to get more customers, or you are determined to hit a certain number of subscribers on your email list. These are all wonderful things to aim for and work towards, and luckily one of the easiest ways to get you closer to that growth is to engage with your website audience!

If you want to grow your website, it’s super important that you build and nurture a following of loyal readers/visitors/customers. And you can’t do that if your website is one-sided! Give and take, y'all.

People want to connect and develop a relationship with YOU and your business, and that’s often step 1 before getting them to transition into being a client or customer. This is why you must engage and interact with your website audience! You can’t have irregular communication with your followers and expect them to feel a close connection.

There are six ways to engage with your website audience that I’ve found actually work and best of all, they make running a website even more FUN! 

Let’s take a look.

5 reasons why I stopped working from home
5 reasons why I stopped working from home

Ahhh, working from home. That's the dream, right? Imagine rolling out of bed, opening your laptop and getting to work from the couch with a piping hot cup of coffee brewing, replying to emails in your yoga pants and doing whatever the heck you want from the comfort of your own home... all the while getting paid for your work? Sounds like a sweeeeet setup!

I still think that working from home is wonderful but it's no longer for me.

Over the past six months or so, I realized I hardly ever work from home anymore. I have to say, this surprised me! I'm someone who hugely values my flexible schedule and the web design & development business that I've built, so what changed? Why did I stop working from home?

Well, there are a few reasons and I'm excited to share my (possibly controversial?) point of view with you today!

Website Reveal for 3 Phase Global
Website Reveal for 3 Phase Global

Another website reveal coming your way, I am so excited to share this project with you! I'm slowly working my way through the buildup of website reveals I want to share with you and I'm pumped to give you a look at the design process for a website redesign I did recently. Not only is it fun to show off my work and highlight my clients, these features are also a great way to show you what goes into a website project, a "behind the scenes" look at my process, and all the thought and strategy that goes into each design decision.

Today I'm going to walk you through the website redesign for 3 Phase Global, which is a full service lighting production company based out of Las Vegas. The new 3 Phase Global website would centre around photo and video content that highlights their work and our goal was to introduce people to the company and direct them to the contact page. This was a neat project because they had an existing website but it wasn't serving their business so we got to do a complete facelift in the areas of design, content and layout. I was able to get strategic and guide the project in a really intentional way and I'm thrilled with the final result.

In this blog post, I'm going to walk you through the website redesign process from start to finish, tell you about our goals for the project, and also explain the different features we chose to use and why. 

Let's dive right in!
