Every redesign I have seen fail started the same way.
Someone got tired of the old site. A competitor launched something sharper. The brief became "make it modern," and by the end of the week everyone was arguing about fonts.
Nobody asked where the site was losing people.
So the new one loses them in the same place, just with better spacing.
An audit is not a design opinion document. It is four hours of finding the exact spots where a visitor gets confused, suspicious, or bored enough to close the tab. Then you build around what you found.
Nobody would rebuild a shop without knowing which aisle people walk out of. Websites hide the walkouts better, that is the only difference.
Save this before your next redesign meeting.
If one is coming up, send me the link. I will do the audit part for free.

Your Website Says “Learn More.” Your Visitors Hear “Maybe Later.”
This week I audited the buttons on my own website.
“Learn more” appeared 7 times.
“Get in touch” appeared 4 times.
Neither told a visitor what they’d actually get.
Worse, my “Get in touch” buttons opened an email app, while my header button opened my booking page. Same goal, two different experiences.
So I rewrote them:
❌ Learn more → ✔ Book my free consultation
❌ Get in touch → ✔ Start your project
❌ Explore projects → ✔ See more on Behance ↗
❌ (nothing) → ✔ Not sure what you need? Let’s figure it out together
That last one matters most. Some of my sections built interest… then just stopped. No next step at all.
A good button does three things:
→ Says what happens when you click
→ Shows up at the moment someone is convinced
→ Leads everyone to the same easy next step
Your buttons are the only part of your website that asks people to do something. They deserve more than two words.
Quick challenge: open your homepage and count your “Learn more” buttons. How many did you find? 👇
I redesigned my personal site to be as quiet as possible: one column, one page, everything you need at a glance.
Same layout, same type, same spacing. Only the light changes.
Which one would you keep as the default?

i'd keep the light one as the default and let the grey be an evening mode. with this little on the page the white gives the type more room to breathe
