Make it personal. Make it real. Make them care.
Your About Page is one of the most-visited pages on your entire site. Itâs also the most misunderstood.
Most people treat it like a rĂ©sumĂ©. Or worseâa corporate mission statement with words like âsynergyâ and âimpactful solutions.â
Letâs fix that.
This isnât just âAbout you.â Itâs why they should give a damn about what you do.
đ§© Hereâs the Formula:
[Hook]Â [Who You Help + How]Â [Your Origin Story (make it relatable)]Â [Why Youâre Different]Â [Your Values / Vibe]Â [CTA â What You Want Them to Do Next]
đŹ Example Template (Plug Your Info In)
đ Hey, Iâm [Your Name].
I help [who you serve] [solve what problem]âwithout [insert common pain point].
(Example: I help small businesses grow online without burning out on social media.)
đ But I didnât start out doing this.
Actually, I [your origin storyâkeep it short, real, and human].
(Example: I used to work 60+ hour weeks in a job I hated, wondering if Iâd ever feel creative again. I started designing websites on the side, just to feel alive. One client turned into three, and suddenly⊠I was in business.)
đ€ What makes me different?
Iâm not here to give you cookie-cutter solutions. I care about [insert your core differentiatorâyour approach, your process, your values]. No jargon. No judgment. Just results.
(Example: Iâm not a marketing guruâIâm a builder. I help you create systems that sell, even while you sleep.)
â€ïž What I believe in:
Keeping it simple
Leading with value
Building businesses that feel like you
And never pretending to be someone youâre not
đŻ Ready to work together?

đ„ Optional Add-Ons:
A â10 Things About Meâ section (make it personal and weirdâthis builds trust)
A favorite quote or mantra
A photo of you doing something non-work related (dog walks > stock photos)
đ§ Final Thought:
People donât buy from businesses. They buy from humans who understand them.
Your About Page is your handshake, your elevator pitch, and your first impressionâmake it sound like you, not a brochure.
