A professional picture of you

A statement of your brand

You don’t have to spell out

your entire vision and

mission statements, but

there should be some

statement, phrase, or

sentence that represents

your brand and how you

want to be perceived.

A professional bioIncluding education, training, certifications, and experience in your field. Make sure to speak your client’s language throughout your site. For instance if you help people set up retirement plans, you wouldn’t want to say “I have become a specialist in fixed rate annuities with lifetime income riders.” Instead, you would want to say something like “Over the past 15 years, I have helped over 250 families create retirement plans they are proud of.”

An email newsletter sign-up

Most contact management systems will have a built in function for adding a sign-up link to your website. This is an easy way to build your contact list and stay in touch with current and prospective clients. Just remember, if you sign people up for an email newsletter, make sure you consistently create and send an email newsletter!
