Time-saving Hacks When Building Your Website

These are the 3 BEST time-saving hacks when it comes to building your website.

Because, believe me, Queen, I know how exhausting it can be to work day-in and day-out on your website, never to make any real progress. Between plugins, hosting platforms, creating an elegant web design, and copywriting… so much goes into the perfect website. 

But, don’t fret! Because there are three time-saving hacks that are my go-to recommendations for anyone considering building a website. Are you ready to learn more? 

Know Your Audience Inside and Out

To start, I don’t want to sound too dramatic here, but knowing your ideal client is like holding the holy grail to your business. Seriously!! This is where your market research has to come into play. So, get to scouring those Facebook groups and start hopping on some market research calls. Face to face is the best way to learn more about who you’re creating your website for. While filling out an Ideal Client Avatar is good, nothing beats learning from the real deal.

See, this step is incredibly important because your ideal client is going to determine EVERYTHING you decide to include on your website. It’s going to determine the pages you include, page formatting, the images and image style, the colors, fonts, and logo, the Call To Actions, and even the content you create.

If you need a little boost with understanding your ideal client, here are a few questions to consider:

• What does my ideal client desire most?
• What problem am I helping them solve?
• How do they like to consume information?

 

Use Automation 

Are you ready for all the deets on my second time-saving hack?

Well, don’t get mad but there’s something that I hate to break to you. That is, once you’ve built your website, the work doesn’t stop there. I know!! After creating a beautiful and captivating website, your time is still required. Maintaining your website is a massive part of being an entrepreneur who desires a website that makes money for you.

Thankfully though, there is a huge time-saving hack that will eliminate all the hassle that comes with maintaining your website: automation. Automation is the gift that keeps on giving. In fact, here’s exactly what you need to start automating in your business post-launch:

• Monitoring metrics and analytics.  A good designer will install analytics and can even set up automated reports to be sent to you each month to give you the data you need, and only the data you need!
• A communication plugin for chatting with new browsers will help you convert potential customers.  Give them automated answers to frequently asked questions in real-time.  The one I use connects directly to my Facebook business page.
• Connecting a CRM to manage new leads!  I use HoneyBook to embed my contact form directly into my website.  Once a lead fills out that form, they are automatically added to my CRM and into automation that lets my clients know I see and hear them, and gives me a jump on the competition.

Automation is one of my top time-saving hacks because it enables you to take a well-deserved step back from your business. And, imagine the possibilities!! More time for coffee, family, or drinks by the lake! With just a little automation, you’ll save A LOT of time and energy in the end.

 

Outsource to a brand and web designer 

See, before I even knew I was going to become a designer, I had big goals to make a bigger impact on this world. ⁠ I knew that becoming an expert in brand and web design was going to help me reach my goals. ⁠ Back then though, I didn’t know that the work I was putting in then would support me – or my clients – in the way it does now. Now, I know that with my expertise in customer service and my genuine heart for people, these qualifications truly help me to see the bigger picture for my clients. ⁠⁠

We can achieve more, hit bigger goals, and save more time.
