New Mobile Friendly Homepage with Impressive Results
We redesigned Henneke’s homepage to increase opt-ins for the writing course and to make the branding more personal.
The new design had to fit in with the rest of the website’s existing design. Crucially, there were hundreds of thousands of monthly visitors who it had to work for.
“Overall, the new homepage design and its performance have exceeded my expectations…the conversion rate on my home page has been up by 30.4% since introducing the new design.” said Henneke Duistermaat, owner of Enchanting Marketing, “The new homepage design feels a lot more personal than the previous version, and I have received lots of positive feedback.”
Mark Reynolds, owner of ProfitReach added: “The digital marketing business is all about results. I’m very pleased about the dramatic conversion rate improvement. Also the kind words from Henneke and her readers have been the cherry on top.”

Henneke's Brief
“When I started my business, I was nervous about showing myself online.” says Henneke.
“I didn’t have a clue how to portray myself. As an agency? Or as an independent consultant? As a blogger or a business? As a content marketer or a writer?”
“My ideas were fuzzy, and my homepage reflected that. I knew it was time for a change. My homepage had to ooze more personality.”
“This business is about me connecting with you. No faceless company. No gobbledygook. But a human touch. This wasn’t a vanity or branding project. As my business is evolving from freelance copywriting to selling books and e-courses, the homepage had to reflect this change. Growing my email list and engaging my readers are my top priorities.”
What did Henneke say?
"Mark is incredibly thorough in his work."
“Sometimes when you work with web specialists, you get the feeling they’re in a rush.” says Henneke. “They want to get a project finished in as little time as possible so they can maximise their hourly rate. They don’t particularly care about the quality of what their work.”
“With Mark, this is not the case. He focuses on quality.”
“Mark is incredibly thorough in his work. For my project, we started with collecting all information that would help enhance my credibility.”
“Mark even dug out a quote from the comment section of an interview with me on Forbes, and he encouraged me to get testimonials from people I’ve worked with. We also discussed several websites and why I liked them, and what I didn’t like about them.”
“We set out to add more personality to my home page and to increase opt-ins to my email list. During the whole process, Mark listened to my wishes. The new design feels a lot more personal than the previous version, and I have received lots of positive feedback.”

Make Sure Your Mobile Friendly Website Is Easy-to-use on Mobile
We designed Henneke’s homepage to be easy to use on a wide variety of devices, from desktops, laptops, tablets to smartphones.
Over the last few years, mobile friendly design has really taken off, but often ‘mobile friendly’ web pages not as easy-to-use as they should be on mobile.

Even if a web design agency says that they produce mobile friendly web sites, you need to make sure that they’re doing mobile well. Take a look at their previous work. Are their client’s websites easy to use on a mobile?
You can get a website that’s designed to be ‘mobile friendly’, but which is still difficult to use on a mobile. It happens a lot more than you’d think.
Mobile Friendly
Think About Mobile Users First.
When we re-designed Henneke’s homepage, we did it knowing that there aren’t just 4 sizes of screen that people will use to view it.
There are 100s of differently sized devices out there, with a huge range of different screen sizes – we had to make sure everyone could view the new page.
The design and layout changes when the width of the website reduces. The content cleverly adjusts depending on the size of the Internet browser or screen.
Many mobile friendly websites fail in their goal because the images fail to resize.
You can see how we avoid this in our video about Henneke’s homepage redesign. The photo of Henneke is initially located on the left for wider screens and it then moves to the centre for more narrow screens. Henneke really wanted to make her branding more personal so this was a big benefit. Great for branding and fantastic for her audience.
