The Problem
Most agency websites are Figma-first, business-last. They're designed to look cool in a pitch deck, not to convert actual clients.
Signs Your Site Is a Liability
- No clear value prop above the fold
- Tons of portfolio work nobody asked for
- Contact form buried on a separate page
- No social proof or testimonials
- Slow load times (yes, we see this constantly)
What Actually Converts
Direct headlines. Case studies with real numbers. Social proof that matters. A clear path to booking a call.
That's it. Everything else is noise.
