hi Reader,

Happy Tuesday (or whatever day it is when you read this)!

I just got back from taking my car into the shop and I've been thinking how nice it is to have a mechanic I trust. Once you have find a service provider who delivers good results, is kind, and you just like, it feels like a life upgrade. Like, oh, I never have to stress about this again? Amazing.

For me, that’s Danny. I know that when my car needs a little TLC, I can take it to him and not worry about whether I’m getting scammed or leaving with more problems than I came in with. It’s such a relief to have that go-to person—whether it’s for car repairs, business support, or literally anything else you don’t want to deal with on your own.

Which, let’s be honest, is probably why you’re here—because at some point, you realized you didn’t want to Google your way through every business decision alone. 😅

So, if you’re still searching for your version of a Danny for website design, marketing digital strategy etc., I’ve got you. Here’s something to help: below I've included tips for shopping for a website template, plus a free checklist for ya.

Wishing you an easy, no-surprises, everything-just-works kind of week!

Between "ooh, should I choose the built-in free Squarespace template?" and "but this more expensive one is so pretty!, it's easy to get completely lost in template selection overwhelm.

3 Quick Tips for Choosing a Website Template

1. Focus on Mobile-First Design — Over half of your visitors are on phones. Your template needs to work flawlessly there, not just "kind of okay if you squint." Use this free Chrome Extension to test mobile and tablet views of the template you're eying.
2. Look for Strategic Structure — Your template should have clear navigation, proper heading hierarchy & SEO structure, and a content flow that guides visitors exactly where they need to go.
3. Make Sure It's Conversion-Ready — Does the template have obvious spots for calls-to-action, contact forms, and lead magnets? Neither the free-est or bougie-est website will book clients if they can't figure out how to reach you!
