Week One

Monday - Update Your Website

Today's focus is your website. Whether it needs updating, curating or a complete redesign, today is a good day to start!

Your website is a reflection of your business, your shop window, so use this time to make it look as professional and slick as possible.

Now's a great time to make all those little changes to your website that you've been putting off. Use the tips in the resource below as your checklist.

Looking to build a new website? AOI Members receive a 20% discount on Squarespace's annual subscription plan. Explore more in Discounts.
