In our last episode, you got to be a fly on the wall during my conversation with my friend, Gordon Brewer, as we unpacked all the reasons why he wants to redesign the website he’s built for his group practice.
If you haven’t heard that episode yet, you can listen to it here.
During that conversation, I walked Gordon through a series of questions to get to the bottom of what he wanted to achieve in his business.
Knowing the answers to these questions will help me and my team ensure that the design that we create for Gordon’s practice will deliver him the results he’s looking for.
So we chatted all about the strategy and goals behind the redesign, but what about the steps to actually carry it out?
