Running a business comes with no shortage of priorities, but your website deserves to be near the top of the list. It’s the foundation of your brand and the place where everything you’re building connects. The good news? Small, intentional updates can make a meaningful impact—without requiring a full overhaul.
In this post, we’re sharing a curated list of easy wins you can implement at any time. Simple, high-impact improvements that help your website feel refined, aligned, and ready to support your business as it grows.
If you prefer to work smarter, not harder, here are five totally achievable, borderline lazy ways to clean up and update your website in less than an hour.
- Choose 5 favorite images from the last few months to feature on your web pages or add to your portfolio. You can do more if you want, but don’t stress over picking the perfect ones or fall down a rabbit hole. Swapping some old photos for ones that reflect your current style and clientele is a great low-lift upgrade.
- Check for dead links. If you’ve taken down pages or switched up URLs, website visitors might land on the dreaded 404 Error pages – and broken links can ding you on SEO. Use a free tool like this one to check for them, then redirect any you find to a new page.
- Do a once-over on your copy. Is all your contact information still accurate? Are you still serving the same locations and types of clients? Are there any services you’ve added or removed this year? Any new destinations on your calendar? This isn’t a time for big revisions – just updating any glaring mistakes or changes.
- Add any new reviews or features. If your work has been featured on another website or you’ve received glowing reviews that never made it to your site, take a couple minutes to hit copy-paste and show off the amazing things you accomplished lately!
- Choose a new template. If updates aren’t cutting it and you’re ready to hit reset on your website altogether, our templates are the ultimate easy win. If you get the decision-making out of the way now, you’ll be ready to customize it and hit the ground running whenever you have a gap in your schedule.
- Bonus: okay, so this isn’t website related, but go into your email and unsubscribe from 5 email lists that you never open. ahh doesn’t that feel better?
