Back to Business: Updating Your Website After Summer Slowdown

Added: 05 September 2024

As summer winds down and business picks back up, its the perfect time to give your website a quick but powerful refresh. Whether youve been away, things have been quiet, or youve simply been too busy September is your chance to realign your digital presence with your goals.

Back to Business: Updating Your Website After Summer Slowdown

Here’s what to focus on to get your website working harder for you this season.

Update your key content

Have your services changed? New pricing? Testimonials? Upcoming offers?

Go through your homepage, service pages, and contact forms to make sure everything is current. Google (and your users) reward relevance.

Bonus tip: Update your meta descriptions and page titles for SEO.

Review your Calls to Action

“Get in touch” is fine—but it’s not compelling.

Use this chance to refresh your CTAs with more direct, benefit-led language. Think:

“Book a free discovery call”
“Get a tailored quote”
“Claim your September strategy session”

Clean up site speed and performance

Summer updates, plugins, or neglected maintenance can slow your site down.

Run a speed check and optimise images, remove unused scripts, and update software.

Not sure where to start? A Website Healthcheck can do the job.

Plan seasonal content and campaigns

What are you promoting in the run-up to Christmas or Q1 next year?

Now’s the time to schedule blog posts, email newsletters, and PPC campaigns that align with your business goals. Starting early means less stress later.

Test everything

Broken contact forms, outdated phone numbers, or tracking that isn’t firing?

These things cost you leads, often without you noticing.

Run a full test across your main pages and fix any bugs before traffic ramps up again.
