5 Website Tweaks You Can Knock Out This Month

Whether your site just needs a quick polish or it’s overdue for a full-blown redesign, we believe updates should feel doable, not overwhelming.

So, we’re sharing 5 simple website fixes (one you can do each week of the month so add that sh*t to your calendar!) to help your site look better, work harder, and convert more visitors. Each one is bite-sized, beginner-friendly, and designed to make an instant impact.

But here’s the thing: Sometimes, a quick fix really is all it takes. Other times, it’s just the tip of the iceberg, and your brand is begging for a deeper refresh.

So we’re giving you both. The easy fix you can make now and the bigger-picture upgrade to consider if your site still isn’t quite hitting the mark. 

Let’s dig in: 

🗓️ WEEK OF 9/ 1

Make sure your headlines include your best-performing keywords.

The quick fix:  Update your H1’s (aka your main headlines). It’s one of the first things visitors and search engines see. Including a strong, relevant keyword helps boost your SEO, attract the right traffic, and tell people exactly what your site is about. Easy win, big impact.

The bigger picture: If your H1 feels vague, outdated, or all over the place, chances are the rest of your messaging might be, too. A rebrand helps you define what you want to be known for and weave that clarity through your entire site, from headlines to calls to action.

Here’s a recent client’s website H1 before and after! Big impact, right?!

🗓️ WEEK OF 9/8

Update your favicon.

The quick fix: That tiny icon in your browser tab? It’s called a favicon, and while it may be small, it plays a big role in how polished and professional your site feels. A clean, branded favicon helps build recognition and trust, especially for visitors juggling a dozen open tabs. 

The bigger picture: If your favicon doesn’t match the rest of your brand… or worse, doesn’t exist at all… it might be time to look at the full visual picture. A brand refresh updates everything from your logo and icons to your color palette and fonts, so every detail feels cohesive and intentional.

FREE-BEE ALERT: To make it even easier on you, we created a Free Canva template to drop in and export your favicon!

🗓️ WEEK OF 9/15

Audit your site for broken links.

The quick fix: Broken links = broken trust. Take a few minutes to click around your site and fix any 404s or outdated pages. It’s a small task that makes a big difference in user experience and even gives your SEO a nice little boost.

The bigger picture: If your site is cluttered with old pages, confusing navigation, or years of pieced-together updates, it might be time to start fresh. A full website redesign can help you reorganize your content, streamline user paths, and create a smoother, more strategic experience from start to finish.

🗓️ WEEK OF 9/22

Add some meta descriptions to your site.

The quick fix: Those little blurbs that show up in search results? That might be someone’s first impression of your business. Without them, Google’s just guessing what your brand is about. The good news? Meta descriptions are easy to add and they can seriously boost your SEO while making your site more clickable.

The bigger picture: If meta descriptions are missing, it’s time to start thinking about what else could be falling through the cracks. An outdated site structure or unclear content strategy could be holding you back. A rebrand or redesign will bring your messaging, SEO, and user experience into alignment.

🗓️ WEEK OF 9/29

Sweeten up your CTAs.

The quick fix: Your CTAs (calls to action) should clearly tell visitors what to do next, and what they’ll get out of it. Instead of vague links like “Click here,” try action-driven, benefit-focused phrases like “Start my brand refresh” or “Let’s work together.” A small change here can lead to big results.

The bigger picture: If your CTAs don’t reflect a clear brand voice or user journey, it’s probably not just the buttons; it’s the whole strategy. A rebrand can help you clarify your offers, simplify your messaging, and guide visitors through your site with confidence and clarity.

So… What do you think? Quick fix or full revamp?

Hopefully, this has given you a better sense of what’s working, what’s not, and what your website really needs to support your goals.

If these sticky little updates were enough to hold you over for now? Amazing. We’re cheering you on. But if they’ve shown you that your site might need something deeper, like more clarity, stronger visuals, and a strategy that reflects where your brand is going…We’re here for ya, honey.
