A Quick Tune-Up Guide for Small Business Owners Using Wix
Summer’s winding down (how did that happen so fast?), and that back-to-business energy is in the air. Whether you’re launching a new offer, planning your fall promo calendar, or just coming off a much-needed break, now’s the perfect time to give your website a little attention.
Here’s a quick checklist to make sure your site is set up for success this fall — especially if you're using Wix.
In this blog:
1. Update Your Seasonal Messaging
Take a look at your homepage, banner headlines, and CTAs. Are they still saying “summer sale” or “out-of-office vibes”? Swap in something that speaks to where your audience is now — think: back to routine, refreshed goals, or getting ready for Q4.
Pro Tip: Add a callout bar or a homepage strip promoting a fall offer, event, or lead magnet.
2. Review Your Contact Forms and Automations
Is your contact form still working? Are your automations (thank-you emails, booking confirmations, etc.) sending correctly?
This is a great time to do a test run:
Fill out your own form
Book a fake appointment or service
See what the follow-up experience feels like
If anything feels clunky or out of date, tweak it now — before the fall rush.
3. Check Your Mobile Layout
More people are browsing on their phones, and nothing says "I made this in 2017" like a squished mobile layout.
Take 5 minutes to look through your website on your phone:
Do the fonts read well?
Are buttons easy to tap?
Is anything overlapping or misaligned?
If it’s looking messy, make sure your mobile editor is up to date — or reach out for help.
4. Add a Fresh Testimonial or Portfolio Piece
You’ve likely worked with new clients, launched something cool, or collected a few wins over the summer. Now’s the time to show them off!
Add a new testimonial to your homepage or service pages
Upload a portfolio example or case study
Refresh your About page with anything new or exciting
5. Plan Ahead for Your Fall Promotions
If you’re launching a product, running a sale, or prepping for holiday bookings, your website should lead the charge.
Ask yourself:
Do I need a new landing page or popup?
Should I prep a banner or announcement bar?
Can I build a waitlist or lead capture for what's coming?
Even small updates now can save you stress later.
