What Visitors Want on Their First Click

(And Why Most Sites Miss It) What visitors want when they reach your site—whether through a Klaviyo campaign, a Google search, or a referral from a friend—they’ve already made a small decision: to give you a shot.

Tag Clouds, Categories, and the Myth of Discovery

Refined, Not Reduced – Navigation Series, Part 6 There’s a persistent idea that if you just tag everything enough or offer a massive list of categories visitors will stumble into the perfect piece of content.   In practice, it’s more like walking into a library with no map, no signage, and a helpful announcement saying,

Footers, Not Dumpsters

Refined, Not Reduced – Navigation Series, Part 5 The footer is the last part of your site people see and usually the last thing anyone designs on purpose.

Table of Contents vs. Table of Chaos

Refined, Not Reduced – Navigation Series, Part 3 Table of contents blocks are like station maps at a busy terminal: great when they work, frustrating when they don’t, and often ignored if they feel like too much. If your site includes longform content, multi-part guides, or bundled services, a clear TOC isn’t optional, it’s an
