Your website has one job before anything else — and it has under 10 seconds to do it. Not to explain your services. Not to showcase your portfolio. Not to tell your story. Its first job is to make a visitor feel, instinctively and immediately, that you are credible. If it fails that, nothing else matters.

Open your website on your phone right now. Not to edit it. Not to check a link. Just as a regular visitor, on a regular phone, the way your clients see it when they find you. If the text is small, the buttons are hard to tap, the images take too long to load, or the layout feels like it was designed for a different screen — that is a problem.
