When it comes to DIY websites, many people stumble over the inclusion of personalised information. Some will even forgo it entirely — after all, I only need my name and contact information, right?
Wrong.
Your website acts as a salesperson for your business, and should be able to give potential customers an immediate sense about who you are and what you do. That means including information specific to you and your company, either on the homepage, throughout the site in general, or on a dedicated ‘About’ page.
A website’s ‘About’ page typically receives the greatest amount of traffic from users, so it is important to get it right. Your potential customers could click on your ‘About’ page for a number of reasons, including:
In other words, the inclusion of personal information on your business website is all about connecting with your client. Satisfying the user’s need for information is an important step towards driving engagement, increasing conversions, and eliciting action from customers.

Another key thing to include with your personal information is a CTA (call-to-action) button. This is about predicting the outcome of the user’s visit; after finding out more about your business, they will ideally wish to get in contact with you to hire you, request a quote, or find out more. Supplying a CTA button enables potential customers to immediately and easily take that next step towards connecting with you.
