How your website looks on mobile is so important. A website can look perfect on a computer and fall apart on a phone.

Tiny text, buttons you can’t tap, menus that won’t open. Your customers won’t tell you. They’ll just leave and call someone else.

It only takes about 10 seconds to check, and you don’t even need your phone. That dropdown lets you switch between popular iPhones, Android phones, and tablets, so you can see how your site looks on all of them right from your computer.

Once you’re in mobile view, look for these:

✅ Can you read the text without zooming in?
✅ Are buttons big enough to tap with your thumb?
✅ Does your phone number tap to call?
✅ Does your menu open and close?
✅ Do your photos fit the screen, or are they cut off?
✅ Can you scroll without the page sliding sideways?
✅ If you have a popup, can you close it easily?

If something looks off and you’re not sure how to fix it, send me a message. I’m happy to help!

🍂🐾 Most of you know that Abby June is my co-producer, head of morale, and official podcast supervisor! She's part pit bull, full-time good girl, and living proof that there's so much more to these dogs than the stereotypes.

In honor of Pit Bull Awareness Month, I'd love to use my little corner of the world to spotlight the women in West Virginia who advocate for pit bulls, rescue them, foster them, or work to change the way people see them. ❤️

Know a woman doing this work? Send her my way! I'd love to have her on the WV Women: Power and Purpose podcast to share her story, her passion, and the difference she's making.

Let's give some good dogs — and the women fighting for them — the spotlight they deserve. 🧡🐶 Have a pit bull? Show 'em off in the comments! 😃

More than half the people who land on your website are doing it from their phone right now.

Here's the problem. A lot of small business sites still get built and checked on a laptop, then never actually looked at on a phone.
So the button that's easy to click on a big screen becomes tiny and impossible to tap. The text that looked fine gets crammed and hard to read. The thing you wanted them to do gets buried under three scrolls.

If your site isn't built phone-first, you're not just having a bad mobile experience. You're losing the majority of the people who show up.

Google doesn't care who's the better business.
Its whole job is to match a search to whatever site answers it the clearest. Not the best business. Not the most experienced one. Just whichever site made it obvious, fast, that it's the answer.

So if someone else's site says exactly what people are searching for, and yours says it in vaguer, fancier words, Google's going to hand that customer to them. Every time.

This isn't personal and it isn't about being outworked. It's about whether your site actually says the thing people are typing in.

Your service list might be the reason people leave your site without calling.
Most service lists are just words. "Consulting." "Custom solutions." "Full-service support." They sound professional and say almost nothing.

Someone landing on your site isn't trying to decode your business. They're trying to answer one question fast: can this person do the specific thing I need?
If your service list makes them guess, they won't ask. They'll just leave and find someone whose website answered it for them.

Your website isn't a resume. It's an elevator pitch.

A resume lists everything about you and hopes someone reads far enough to care. A pitch tells them exactly what they need to know in the time you've got, and nothing else.

Here's how to tell which one you've got. If your homepage is trying to say every service, every credential, every detail all at once, that's a resume. If someone can glance at it and immediately know what you do and what to do next, that's a pitch.

Most small business sites default to the resume version without meaning to. More information feels safer. But nobody's attention span online is that long. They want the one thing that tells them you're who they need.

Meet the most honored members of the SpindleStack team!

This is Kaladin, who mostly just judges my font choices from across the room and stomps out emails on my keyboard.
This is miss Leslie. She thinks every finished website deserves a parade, or at least she should get a treat to celebrate.

Neither of them do much work, but they're with me every single day. And honestly, I can't promise one of them won't make a cameo on your discovery call or strategy session at some point.

Here's the difference between a website that gets clicks and one that gets lost in the scroll.

A strong website is clear, fast, and sounds like a real person. A weak one makes you guess, makes you wait, and sounds like everyone else. Same business, completely different results.

Which side does your site land on?
