# Fix a Homepage That Talks About the Company Instead of the Customer in Monticello

A homepage should identify the business, but it should not require the visitor to read the company's autobiography before learning whether the service is relevant.

The useful balance is simple: keep enough identity to establish who the business is, then organize the page around what visitors are trying to solve or accomplish.

## Find the company-centered material

Look for sections dominated by statements such as:

- how passionate the company is;
- how many values it has;
- long mission statements;
- internal process language;
- company history before any service explanation.

Some of that information may be worth keeping. The question is whether it helps a first-time visitor decide what to do next.

## Bring the customer's task forward

The homepage should make the customer's practical problem visible without pretending to know how the person feels.

For example, a page can say that the business repairs slow or outdated websites without claiming that every visitor is “frustrated and overwhelmed.”

Describe the real task, then connect it to the actual service.

## Keep proof where it supports the decision

Relevant experience, credentials, real examples, and useful differentiators can strengthen the homepage.

They should support the visitor's decision rather than replace the explanation.

A statement about years in business means more when it is connected to a clearly described service than when it appears as an isolated brag.

## Give About content a different job

The About page can explain the operator, team, background, history, and philosophy in more depth.

The homepage can link there for visitors who want that context.

That leaves the homepage free to explain the current business and guide people toward services, proof, service-area information, and contact.
