Okay, this one's quick but it matters more than people think.

There's a bad, a good, and a great way to show off your reviews and most sites are stuck at "good" when "great" takes five extra minutes.

Bad: no reviews anywhere on the site. Visitors just have to trust you.
Good: a testimonials page, buried three clicks deep in the menu.
Great: a review right on the homepage, above the fold- the first thing someone sees.

If people have to go hunting for proof you're good at what you do, most of them won't bother. They'll just leave.

Save this for later and follow me for more website tips.

I met Marvin Caraccioli this week and had a great time getting to learn more about him and his business!

He owns MC Fresh Clean, a cleaning and janitorial business here in Charleston. He's been at it 6+ years, cleans offices, commercial buildings, and apartments, and cares so much about the details.

If your building needs a cleaning company that actually shows up and does it right, reach out to him!

On Women’s Equality Day, I’m thinking about what happens when women are given the space to tell their stories—and when those stories inspire others to step forward.

When I launched this page in late April, my goal was simple: spotlight women across West Virginia who are making an impact in their communities, professions, and beyond.

Four guests in, something bigger is beginning to happen.

Women I’ve never met are reaching out to learn how they can be part of the conversation. Interest is growing across the state. And this community is now 120+ strong and steadily rising.

But more than the numbers, I’m excited about the connections being made and the stories being shared!

This is becoming more than a podcast. It’s becoming a space for West Virginia women to be seen, heard, celebrated, and connected.

There are so many stories still to tell! 💙💛💙💛

I wanted to highlight a fantastic local WV business: Appalachian Disturbance!

I recently bought this beautiful cutting board and gorgeous hand-painted pair of earrings- and I'm obsessed!
The quality is fantastic and I highly recommend everyone goes and checks them out.

Go give them a like, a follow, and check out their site: appalachiandisturbance.com. You'll find some goodies of your own.

Here's what I actually check when I land on a small business website:

- Can I find your phone number without hunting for it?
- Do I know what you do in the first five seconds?
- Are these YOUR photos, or a stock template everyone's seen a hundred times?
- Can I book or reach you in one click, or am I filling out a form and hoping?
- And this is the big one: is there any proof? A review, a result, something that shows you are the expert.

If your site's missing any of these, that's usually the difference between someone browsing and someone booking.

I've got a new project landing soon, and before I touch a single design element, I'm doing this part first: building out a custom strategy for this business.

It involves a deep dive into the competition and current rankings to figure out how we can position my client as the best option and truly speak to their target audience.

That's honestly the part that makes a website actually work and generate leads. Having a pretty website, doesn't mean you have a strategic one. And that makes the difference in your success.

This is where every project starts for me, every time.

If you have a website that you don't feel like is bringing in leads like it should- reach out! I'd be happy to help you.
