Why do people visit your about page?
Every page on your website has a job, and your about page is no different! People visit your about page to learn more about you.
BUT! That doesn’t mean they want your entire life story, this isn’t the place to write your autobiography!
They want to know stuff that’s relevant to how you’ll help them.
Why should they choose you? Why should they trust you? Will they like you?!
This is what they’re here for. So don’t be afraid to use a conversational tone and help them feel like they’ve already met ya!

Basically, use this page to help people get to know you AND how you can help them.
Don’t forget to link through to relevant service or product pages to help them take the next step on their journey with you.
8 things to include on your about page
- Personality
- A headline
- Images of you
- Your values
- Benefits
- Testimonial(s)
- CTA buttons that take them through to product or service pages
- Credentials
The more personality you inject into this page, the better. Let who you are shine through.
Your headline is an important introduction to your about page. Of course, you could simply choose ‘about me’ or you could get a little more creative!
Images of you are crucial on your about page. People want to see that face behind the business, it helps them to feel more like they know you!
Share your values. Again, make sure that you’re tying these into why they matter to your customers. We want to be highlighting the benefits of choosing you over competitors.
Benefits tell people what they get out of working with you. What outcomes can they expect if they choose you?
Call to Action buttons are vital and often forgotten on about pages. Remember, each page has a job to do! Your about page’s job is to help people get to know you AND to encourage them to take the next step. Add a CTA to book a call or visit your services/products.
