if i only had one week…


Hi Reader!

So… let's play a game.

Pretend you have seven days. Maybe you're about to run google ads. Maybe you just realized your website has been sitting there for months doing absolutely nothing. Maybe you have a launch coming and you need things to work...like NOW.

Here's what most people do...panic. Redesign everything. Change the colors, rewrite all the copy, add a hundred new features.

And they waste the whole week on stuff that doesn't move the needle.

Here's the thing. After designing websites for over twenty years, I know exactly what actually converts. And it's not a prettier site. It's a clearer one.

So here's my exact seven-day plan — one focus per day, thirty to sixty minutes max:

  1. Monday — Hero section. Rewrite your headline so a stranger knows within three seconds what you do and who it's for. Add one clear call to action button. Done.
  2. Tuesday — Calls to action. Put your primary CTA in the upper right corner of your navigation. Every page. No dead ends.
  3. Wednesday — Social proof. Add three to five testimonials (with names) where people are making decisions, near your pricing, above your contact form, right below your hero.
  4. Thursday — Services page. Read it out loud. Is it benefit-focused? Is your pricing visible? Does it say who it's for? Fix what's missing.
  5. Friday — Contact page. Can someone reach you in under sixty seconds? If not, you're losing leads at the finish line.
  6. Saturday — Mobile. Hand your phone to a friend. Ask them to contact you. Watch what happens. Fix what breaks.
  7. Sunday — Test everything. Click every link. Submit a test form. Check for typos. Make sure this week's changes actually show up.

That's it. No new pages. No new fonts. Just the fixes that actually matter.

Your action step this week: pick ONE day from the list above and do that task today. Don't start Monday and do all seven at once. Just one. (seriously.)

I walk through every single day in detail in If I Only Had One Week to Make My Website Convert, Here's My Plan — including a free checklist you can download and follow along.

Want me to walk through YOUR site and tell you exactly what to fix first? A coaching call is a great place to start.

You've got this,

P.S. There's also a free downloadable checklist for all seven days linked in the show notes. No excuses.
