Week 3, The Design Continues

 



This week has been all about building my website; honestly, I’m pretty happy with how it’s coming together. What started as a basic setup now feels like me—not just a site but an honest look into my mindset, journey, and everything that’s shaped where I am today.

What I’ve Done So Far

One of the most significant changes I made was adding a clickable link to another landing page on the home page. This dramatically improves SEO and lets me track engagement, which I wanted to focus on. Instead of just throwing a page up and hoping for the best, I can see how people interact with the site and what’s working.

I also wrapped up my welcome section—kept it short and straight to the point. The goal was to set the tone immediately, letting people know this isn’t just another real estate page but a behind-the-scenes look at who I am and how I got here.

The story section took the most time because I wanted it to feel real, not just a stiff timeline. It describes my journey from the military to real estate to building my own business. I rewrote parts to make it flow better and sound more like me—not just a professional bio.

I also added a complete contact section with all my social media links and ensured my email and phone number were clickable so people could reach out instantly. My résumé is now downloadable from the site, making it easy for anyone to check out my work.

What’s Next?

I know a website is never really “finished,” so over the next two weeks, I’ll tweak things to ensure it flows how I want it to. One thing I might adjust is navigation, just to ensure everything is seamless and easy to navigate.

Ultimately, creating a fully functioning website that represents you takes months to perfect. It's impressive that we’re doing all this in a few weeks. It’s coming together, and I’m excited to see how it evolves.
