How to Make Sure Every Page on Your Website is Selling for You (Without Feeling “Salesy”)

Jessie Guilford

Let’s get real for a second—just having a pretty website isn’t enough to convert visitors into paying clients. You could drive thousands of people to your site, but if they don’t immediately understand who you are, what you do, and why it matters to them, they’ll bounce faster than you can say lost opportunity.

Your website should be working for you, selling for you, and leading people effortlessly toward booking, buying, or inquiring. Every page needs to pull its weight—because if it’s just sitting there looking cute, it’s not doing its job.

So, how do you structure your website to turn visitors into clients? Let’s break it down page by page.


1. Home Page: Hook Them Fast & Show Them Why It Matters

Your homepage is your first impression. It’s like walking into a boutique—if people don’t immediately feel like they’re in the right place, they’ll leave.

Most people make the mistake of simply stating what they do: “I’m a business coach” or “I offer web design services.”

That’s fine, but it doesn’t tell visitors why they should care. People don’t buy services—they buy results.


What to Include:

✅ A clear, bold statement that instantly tells people what you do and how it benefits them.

✅ A subheading that expands on who you help and why they should stick around.

✅ A simple, direct call-to-action (CTA) leading them to the next step—book a call, view services, download a freebie, etc.


🚀 Example: Instead of saying, “I build websites for small businesses,” try:

➡️ “A high-converting website that sells for you—so you can book more clients without working harder.”

See the difference? Make it about them, not just about what you do.

2. About Page: Make It About Them, Not Just You


I know—it’s called the About page, but here’s the truth: it’s not actually about you. It’s about how your story connects with them.

People are looking for themselves in your story. They want to feel like you get them, that you’ve walked a similar path, or that you understand their struggles deeply.


What to Include:

✅ A strong opening statement that makes them feel seen ("If you're tired of DIYing your business and getting nowhere, you're in the right place.")

✅ A section sharing your story, but with a focus on how your experience benefits them.

✅ Relatable questions or bold statements that make them think, “Yep, that’s me!”

✅ A call-to-action that leads them to the next step (working with you, reading your blog, or joining your email list).

🚀 Example: Instead of saying, “I have a degree in marketing and have been in business for five years,” try:

➡️ “After watching too many business owners struggle with confusing messaging and websites that don’t convert, I knew I had to step in. Now, I help coaches and creatives create brands that feel like home—and actually bring in sales.”

Make your audience feel connected to you, but more importantly, make them feel understood.

3. Services Page: Sell the Transformation, Not the Process

Too many services pages read like a dry list of features—and that’s a huge mistake.

People don’t care about how many calls they get or the exact step-by-step breakdown of your process. They care about where you can take them.


What to Include:

✅ A clear headline that sells the transformation, not just the service ("From Overwhelmed to Booked Out—Let’s Build the Brand That Gets You There")✅ A breakdown of where they are now, where they want to be, and how your service bridges that gap.

✅ Emotional connection—what’s stopping them? Why haven’t they solved this problem yet? Show them you get it.

✅ A CTA that makes it easy to take action—whether that’s booking a call, applying, or purchasing.

🚀 Example: Instead of saying, “You get 3 coaching calls and a workbook,” try:

➡️ “Finally have a brand that reflects your worth, attracts dream clients, and allows you to step into the next level of your business—with a clear strategy and a website that does the selling for you.”

Yes, you still list what’s included, but the emotional buy-in comes first.

4. Blog Page: Show Them Why Your Content Matters

If you have a blog (and you should), it needs to do more than just list your latest posts. It needs to tell visitors why they should care.


What to Include:

✅ A short, engaging blurb at the top that tells visitors why they should read your blog ("Practical branding & website tips for coaches, consultants, and creatives who want more sales—without the social media burnout.")

✅ Categories or tags that make it easy to navigate content.

✅ A call-to-action that encourages visitors to keep engaging—whether that’s joining your email list or reading a related post.


🚀 Example: Instead of just listing blog posts, try:

➡️ "Not sure why your website isn’t converting? Start here with my most popular posts on website strategy, branding, and messaging.”

Guide them to the content that’s most valuable to them.


5. Contact Page: Make It Feel Personal & Set Expectations

Most people treat their contact page like a dead-end—just a boring form with no personality.

But here’s the thing: by the time someone lands on this page, they’re this close to reaching out. This is your final chance to make an impression.

What to Include:

✅ A warm, welcoming message ("I can’t wait to hear from you! Here’s what happens next.")

✅ Clear expectations—when they’ll hear back from you and what to expect from the process.

✅ A short personal touch—something that makes you feel human and approachable.

🚀 Example: Instead of just saying, “Fill out the form and I’ll get back to you soon,” try:

➡️ "I typically respond within 48 hours (unless I’m out wrangling my kids or taking a well-deserved coffee break). Can’t wait to hear about your project!"

See? Personality + clarity = more inquiries.


Your Website Should Be Selling for You—Every Single Day

If your website isn’t consistently bringing in leads, clients, and sales, it’s not because websites don’t work—it’s because your site isn’t set up to do the heavy lifting for you.


Here’s the quick recap:

Home Page: Hook them immediately and make it about their results.

About Page: Make it relatable—help them see themselves in your story.

Services Page: Focus on the transformation, not just the features.

Blog Page: Guide them to valuable content that builds trust and authority.

Contact Page: Add personality and set expectations to encourage inquiries.


Done right, your website becomes a client-attracting machine—so you don’t have to work so hard to market yourself every single day.
