## Shot 3: Opinion of the Week

When people say they want a new website, actually they are saying they want **a new web strategy**

If you are planning a new web site and you only focus on look and feel you’ve missed a key part.

Takeaway: ask the ‘5 Why?s’ : [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/5_Whys](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/5_Whys)

## Shot 4: Challenge of the Week

Even though a business has made sales does not mean everything on a website is geared to drive sales.

So we are working on a website that sells a product on a recurring payment.  What we analysed and went to optimise the content on the site we discovered that there were many points of friction.

1. No one thought about the buyer’s journey.
2. Offers at each stage of the journey were not clear.
3. The path to conversion was unclear.

Takeaway - don’t believe everything someone tells you, go look for yourself and evaluate the buyer’s journey and the content.

## Shot 5: Pro Tip of the Week
