Most businesses focus so much on how their website looks that they neglect opportunities to drive conversions. But a good website does both! Think about interior designers. When they redesign a living room, they aren’t only thinking about aesthetics – they’re thinking about functionality and the needs of the household. The same is true for your website. It should look and feel good, but it should also serve the needs of your business – sales!

In today’s episode, J.J. and April talk with StoryBrand Certified Guide, Amy Schutte, about creating a website that feels undeniably like your brand but also gets results. You’ll learn key aspects to creating a homepage that makes people feel good about being there – but also takes them on a journey to purchase from you. Tune in now to apply these tips to your homepage so you can drive more sales and serve more customers!
