#14/20 – Good manners elevate your website
Here’s a surprising tip to elevate your website, without touching the design:
Hire your mum. Here’s why…
Most websites are cold, impersonal and a bit rude.
(Check your competitors’ websites — you’ll see what I mean.)
So when you add a bit of warmth and some good old-fashioned manners, your website will stand head and shoulders above the rest.
Remember those manners your mum taught you?
Make guests feel welcome → Don’t talk about yourself. Focus on them.
Be a good host → Lead the way. Don’t leave visitors to fend for themselves.
Don’t interrupt → Get rid of those aggressive pop-ups.
Introduce yourself properly → Create a clear and welcoming homepage.
Say ‘please’ and ‘thank you’ → Make instructional text kind and friendly.
Listen when others speak → Ask for feedback to improve your website.
Keep your promises → Don’t use click-bait headings.
It doesn’t take much to make a website feel more personable.
Ask your mum to rate your website’s manners. 😊
Because good manners will elevate your website.
