Matt Cross, the founder of Cross Fire Cooking, had a thriving social media presence. His engaging posts and videos showcased his passion for live fire cooking, the artistry of his BBQ classes, and the unique experience he offered with private fire-based catering. This strong social presence had built a community around Cross Fire Cooking, generating a lot of interest.

The existing website, more of a glorified landing page, failed to capture the essence of what Matt and Cross Fire Cooking were all about.

However, when potential clients followed that interest to Matt's website, they were met with disappointment. The website, more of a glorified landing page, failed to capture the essence of what Matt and Cross Fire Cooking were all about.

Here's why the website wasn't working:

Limited Content: The website likely lacked detailed descriptions of Matt's expertise, the specific offerings of Cross Fire Cooking, and the mouthwatering results one could expect.

Visuals: Social media thrives on captivating visuals, but the website might not have showcased high-quality photos or videos that brought the fire, the food, and the experience to life.

User Experience (UX): The website's design and functionality might not have been user-friendly. It could have been difficult for potential clients to navigate, find the information they needed, or take the next step (booking a class or contacting Matt).

SEO: The website might not have been optimized for search engines, making it hard for potential clients searching for "live fire cooking classes" or "private fire catering" to discover Cross Fire Cooking.

This disconnect between the vibrant social media presence and the static website was hindering Matt's ability to convert online interest into paying customers.
