Kell Green - Website Designer

You cleaned up your site... or at least thought about it. 👀 That's my dream for you, anyway. 😆

Now let's make sure it's not still a hot mess by March, 'kay? Good stuff.

Website maintenance sounds like a chore because... well it kind of is. Nah I can't lie to you, it definitely is at the start. 🤣 But breaking it into bite-sized tasks? WAY less painful. Tackling one thing per week means you get a functional site that works hard for you without the overwhelm. 💪🏼

Here's the 4-week overview:

W1: Image optimisation (file size and naming)
W2: Text hierarchy check
W3: Alt text on all images
W4: Meta title and description refresh

Swipe through for the full breakdown, including a little pep talk about finding what works for *you*.

Save it. Screenshot it. Send it to a biz mate who needs it. Tell me how much of it you're already doing. Tell me what you're gonna knock over first. Ask all the questions.

Or y'know... if you want me to handle it for you, I'm only a DM away. 😉

New year energy has us all motivated to ✨tackle the stuff we ignore✨ (I'm guilty too, hi 👋🏼).

So from this web designer to you, here's a quick website health check to kick off 2026.

I'm talking broken links that lead to nowhere. Images straight from a camera that are tanking your site speed. Pages you forgot even existed. The stuff that makes your visitor bounce before they even know what you do.

Here's your 3-point new year audit checklist. 🤘🏼

#1: Header and footer check
Is your menu helping visitors navigate? Is your CTA button still your #1 goal? Does your copyright year still stay 2025? (fix it) Last thing: click every link.

#2: Full site walkthrough
Click through every page, test every button and link. If you can't be bothered, your visitors definitely can't.

#3: Mobile layout check
Squarespace has a Desktop and Mobile layout for your site. Make sure everything is sat neatly, in the right order. 😉

These are the first things I look at (and yes, I'm doing it on my own site too because even web designers need to check themselves).

Takes maybe an hour, and makes you look like you're on top of your s**t this year. Win-win! 🥳

If you find something wild, screenshot it and tag me, or just DM it to me. Ya gal loves a good 'the heck is this thing??' moment. 🤣

Who do I work with?

Most business owners, actually - usually the ones who are done with DIY, but also the ones that need a helping hand, too.

However.

They don't expect to get a website in a day.

Or a week.

Those people are not my people. 😅

Even when someone is selling a 'website in a week' (or a bloody day 😤), what they forget to mention is the time spent planning and gathering everything required for that website to *exist* in a week. Or a day.

I mean, I could build one in a day, sure.

But it'll likely have numerous small mistakes I would likely miss spotting, lack detail AND it would *look* like it was built in a day.

That's not okay with me. 🙅🏻‍♀️

If it's not okay with you either, I have custom website project and website designer hire spots available leading up to late October/early November this year.

I'll make sure you get a kick-ass, error-free and freaking professional AF website ready to go for January 1st, 2025. 🤘🏼

Shoot me a DM, or email [email protected] if you're interested. 😁

Oh hey. 👋🏻

Right now, I'm laying the groundwork for what services I want to offer moving forward. It's giving me feels that frequently swap between excitement and overwhelm.. so I'm thinking that I am on the right path here.

I wish I found it easier to document what I'm doing though. I don't care for gatekeeping, and nothing is secret squirrels.. but I just don't know what to share from it.

If you have any tips for when you started doing it for yourself or your own biz, please send it my way.

My brain can't figure out why it should want to share content that isn't in some way useful to someone. Does anyone else feel that way? 😅

Anyway, that's my update for now. Hope you had a great start to the new week. 🤙🏻

PS. I've tried "just fkn do it woman" to see what happens and it turns out the tough love approach doesn't work with me, so I need a new angle. 🤣
