Your homepage is often the first impression your business makes.

But here’s the truth: most homepages are quietly repelling the very people you want to work with.

In today’s episode, I’m walking you through the most common homepage mistakes I see (even on beautiful, modern websites)... and how to fix them.

We’ll cover design, copy, and strategy—because it's not about looking good, it's about guiding action.

And at the end, I’ll give you a simple test you can run today to see if your homepage is helping or hurting your conversions—so stick with me.
