4 Quick Website Ideas to think through before the new year
Another Monday Morning Website Tip by Marcus Rangel
When you start to think about your push towards the end of the year, there are 4 quick website ideas I’m recommending you do to finish strong and to prepare for 2024. These aren’t take forever to implement ideas… more like the Cheetah quick… btw as a Chiefs fan we could sure use him right about now.
Four Quick Website Ideas for 2024
- At the end of every year, look at the success of your calls to action on your site. A simple way to gauge this to see if you may be turning people away if you are asking for too much information up front. For example, if you ask for 10 things on a form – try cutting that in half if you aren’t seeing much action from the form.
- Really look at your the stats of your website. Just like any report you run for your business, the stats of your website will tell you where people are spending time on your site and if you should update the page that they are visiting. This will also tell you if the name of the page in your navigation needs updated, or there isn’t enough content pointing to this page.
- Try out Google Trends. This is a great free way to see what people are searching for in your specific industry and to make sure your pages have the keywords you want to be searched for within your website. If you want to be searched for a specific term in your city, you really have to have that somewhere in the content of your site.
- Speaking of Google, make sure your Google Business Listing is up to date and has current photos of your business. This free tool is a great way for prospects to search for what you offer in your area without paying per click and will also tell you month after month how many people are interacting with your business on Google.
About Marcus Rangel
I've been working with small businesses owners to craft not only beautiful custom websites, but clear, clever and concise messages to reach their prospects since 2005.
I officially hung up my "corporate cleats" to be an entrepreneur and small business owner in the summer of 2020. IMC, which started as a side hustle early in the mornings before the sun was even up in 2017, is what led me down this path as a small business owner myself. I focus on helping other small business owners continually stay in front of people & prospects with email marketing, create websites that generate leads with great engagement, and produce video content that are meant for the digital era we're in.
When I'm not creating, you can find me hanging out with my incredible family on our front lawn or on my OneWheel around the big city of Owasso, OK.

I had never been to Wyoming until the summer of 2025… and I can’t believe it took that long! I got the great chance to work with a 3rd generation ranch owner, Andy Stellpflug, to help share his family’s legacy of their ranching operation that’s been around since 1913. Now I did get to experience pretty much every type of weather when I was up there including rain, breathtaking sunrises, strong winds, and quiet sunsets. But all of that led to a video that I was really proud to submit to the 2026 Pro Movie Maker Filmmaker of the Year Awards. I just got word today that it won, making IMC a two time winner! I had previously won in 2023 for the drone work…
Your website’s most visited page is… you guessed it, your homepage! That’s why I always recommend having a “message from the owner/founder” on the homepage. It immediately humanizes your brand for the website visitor and puts a face to your company. It also leads your website visitor to the about us page (most likely your second most visited page) if worded and done right. What your message should contain: Here are three website examples that I’ve designed and launched recently in 2026 that feature a “Message from the owner” for you to check out! https://walkermasonryinc.com/ https://dupreefarms.com/ https://steep.marketing/
One of the biggest improvements you can make to your existing website is your navigation. The standard “dropdown” is great, but upgrading to a well designed navigation dropdown – or super navigation is really a showstopper. Think about it this way, if a new website visitor is choosing in 5 seconds or less if they want to stay on your website, showcasing your navigation is a great way to stop them in their tracks to want to look around longer.
