A great website has less distractions for a visitor and channels them into primary focuses like an online sale or book in.

• Have good photography. This can make a huge difference. Having the same day in all your photos, looks consistent and works well for the branding. If you have no photos, get some. People want to see who they are dealing with. Make them real and it makes your website personalised and you.

• Good copy. Copy is the writing on the website that helps sell. Good copy can talk about pain points your solve and the solutions you can give. It should be in the words of your web visitors, not your business technical jargon.
