Let me guess - you built your website, checked it off your list, and now it’s collecting dust. Or maybe you’re eyeing a trendy 2026 redesign! In this episode, I share why year-end is the ideal time to stop chasing trends and start treating your site like the strategic business tool it should be. You’ll learn the biggest mistakes business owners make, the data that really matters, and a simple website audit you can complete before December 31 to choose the most impactful updates for early 2026…so that your site finally works for your business.
01:47 – Why treating your website as “done” is a costly mistake
02:38 – The dangers of chasing website trends (and what to do instead)
04:35 – How to use real data instead of gut feelings for updates
05:46 – What heat maps reveal about your visitors’ behavior
07:22 - Implementing a year-end website audit based on your data
09:26 – Scheduling strategic website updates for next year
