Your website updates isn’t something you launch and forget about, it’s a core part of your business. It speaks to your audience, guides them to take action, and helps you build trust before they even get on a call with you.
At Kemotion, we recommend reviewing your site at least once a quarter, or twice a year at minimum, to make sure it still reflects where your business is today (and where you’re going next).
Here are 11 smart touchpoints to audit and refresh on your Showit website:
Ever submitted a form and didn’t hear back? We know how frustrating that can be. Also, with full transparency, it’s happened to our potiential inquiries as well.
Getting a DM from someone asking if you can send them their freebie is not a good look, and it’s happened to us. So learn from our mistake and test, test, test.
Go through every form on your site, your contact form, newsletter opt-ins, lead magnet downloads, and check:
If you’re using Flodesk, Dubsado, or Kit, it’s worth clicking through the entire experience to confirm everything flows as expected. Broken funnels = missed leads.
As your business evolves, your visuals and language should too.
If you’ve:
then it’s time to make sure your website is speaking to your current audience, not the version of your business from two years ago.
New headshots, updated client photos, and fresh copy on your About or Services page can breathe new life into your site.
Every button should feel like an invitation, not a mystery.
Replace vague or passive text like “Click Here” or “Submit” with more intentional phrases like:
Then, double-check that all your buttons and text links are still functional. A broken CTA disrupts trust and user experience in a heartbeat.
Showit gives you control over mobile design—which means you’re also responsible for making sure it actually looks good.
Open your site on your phone or use the Showit mobile preview to check for:
Remember: for many users, mobile is their first experience with your brand. Make it seamless.
Your best marketing tool? Happy clients.
Make sure your testimonials feel current and aligned with your latest offerings. If you’ve been featured in the press, partnered with notable brands, or recently received standout feedback, show it off.
Pro Tip: Add client names and details (when appropriate and with permission) to increase trust and relatability.
Your website header and footer act as the road map for your entire site. Are they helping or hindering your visitors?
Ask yourself:
Outdated, overly complicated menus can quietly hurt conversion. Clean it up.
Not the most glamorous part of your site—but 100% necessary.
Privacy regulations (like GDPR and U.S. state laws) require you to have certain legal notices if you’re collecting data, sending emails, or using cookies. Make sure you’ve got:
Tools like Creative Law Shop or Termageddon can help you stay compliant without having to be a legal pro.
Even if you’re not doing deep-dive SEO, the basics still matter.
Inside Showit, check:
If you have pages like thank-you pages or policies, mark them as “hidden from search” in your SEO settings.
If your blog is part of your marketing strategy, this is for you.
Refresh older posts by:
Also, make sure your blog archive page still aligns with your brand’s current layout and tone. A few quick edits can revive your blog and boost long-term SEO value.
This is the heart of it all: does your website still sound like you?
Check in with the tone of voice, the phrasing of your offer, and the clarity of your message. If your brand has become more premium, more niche, or more refined, your copy should reflect that shift.
And if you’re not sure how it reads? Ask a friend (or a client!) to give you their honest feedback. Clarity builds confidence.
Small detail, but it matters.
If your footer still says 2022 or 2023, it’s time for a quick update. On Showit, you can do this manually by editing the text box in your footer canvas. For Showit + WordPress users, a little JavaScript snippet can auto-update the year for you.
It’s one of those subtle signals that says, “Hey, I’m active. I care about details. You’re in good hands.”
Your website should grow with you, not hold you back. Think of these 11 check-in points as your digital tune-up to keep your brand running smoothly.
