5 Website Tips Every Kelowna Small Business Needs This September

5 Website Tips Every Kelowna Small Business Needs This September

Ah, September. The kids are back in school, the pumpkin spice lattes are flowing, and small business owners are wondering how summer disappeared faster than their free time.

If your small business website hasn’t had a little TLC lately, now’s the perfect time for a digital “back-to-school refresh.” Because let’s be honest: your website is often the first impression people get of your business — and first impressions matter. (Especially online, where customers have the attention span of a fruit fly.)

Here are five high-level website tips to make sure your business is ready to crush the fall season:

1. Speed Matters 🚀

If your website loads slower than your uncle telling a fishing story, customers will bounce. Literally. Optimize your images, ditch unnecessary plugins, and make sure your hosting isn’t holding you back.

2. Mobile-Friendly is Non-Negotiable 📱

Over half of web traffic comes from phones. If people have to pinch, zoom, and scroll sideways just to read your menu or book a service — they won’t stick around.

3. Clear Calls-to-Action (CTAs) 🛎️

“Buy Now.” “Book Here.” “Call Today.” Whatever you want people to do — make it obvious. Don’t hide your CTA at the bottom of your site like it’s a secret treasure map.

4. SEO is Your Best Friend 🔎

If Google can’t find you, your customers won’t either. Make sure your site is optimized with relevant keywords like Kelowna small business, web design Kelowna, and social media marketing BC. It’s not just nerd stuff — it’s how people find you.

5. Keep it Fresh 🌱

Nobody trusts a website that looks like it was built in 2010 (unless you’re selling vintage flip phones). Update your content regularly — new photos, blogs, or even a seasonal promo. Fresh content shows you’re open, active, and ready for business.
