Hot take: My freelance site was too cluttered until I got roasted in a coffee shop
I was sitting at a local spot downtown last Tuesday, working on my laptop, when this guy next to me asked what I did. I showed him my freelance site (you know, hoping for a lead) and he just squinted at the screen for a second. He said something like 'dude, I don't know where to look first' and pointed out I had three different calls to action in the header alone. It stung but he was right. So I stripped it down to one clear goal last weekend and my contact rate went up a bit this week. Has anyone else had a random stranger give them a brutal but useful site review?
