Ever visited a website and felt lost? Maybe the design was confusing, the copy ended didn’t flow, or you simply didn’t know where to click. Now consider your website — and ask yourself: Does it feel clear, or confusing?

If you have any questions at all, that’s a red flag. For if you, the one who knows your brand, your offers, and your mission like the back of your hand, feel confused by your website, consider how it makes someone visiting for the first time feel.

Spoiler alert: they are probably hitting the back button within seconds. But let’s dig into why clarity on your website matters now more than ever, especially if you’re a coach, consultant, or service-based business wanting to establish trust with clients and book more of them.

Your Website is Not for You, It’s for Them

It’s so easy to get wrapped around the axle with tweaking your website based on things you like — fonts, colors, layouts that you think look cool. Your website isn’t there to impress you, though, is it, at the end of the day? It’s there to serve the very people you are trying to help.

That means every button, headline, and image should be working to begin to answer one fundamental question that your visitor is silently asking:

“Is this what I want?”

If you don’t answer it right away, within 5 seconds, you’re already losing them.

Clarity Test: Could a Stranger Understand Your Proposition In 10 Seconds?

Here’s a quick challenge. Open your homepage and place a 10-second timer. Imagine, now, that you’re a new visitor with no previous exposure to your business.

And can you instantly know:

• Who is this website for?
• What is the core offer?
• What should you do now?

If the answer is no, then it’s time to simplify.

Some real-world website mistakes that create friction and confusion:

Jargon Overload

Not a textbook. buzzword-laden ears, but it’s just making noise in your visitors’ ears. Talk like a human, it might sound impressive to your.

It Leads Visitors Through the Process

Think of your site as a guide. Give people cues with headlines, buttons, and images that direct them where to go next — whether that’s booking a discovery call through your website, downloading a free guide, or reading the testimonials of past clients.
