1. Biggest Website Challenge:
"Navigation and User Experience is currently my primary challenge. As a Christian counseling ministry, I need to ensure women can easily find and access:
- Counseling services information
- Booking options
- Spiritual resources
- Ministry events/groups
I want to create a more intuitive journey for women seeking support."
2. Website Loading Performance:
"The website loads adequately on desktop but could be optimized for mobile users, who are often women seeking counseling resources during difficult moments. I recognize the importance of quick, reliable access across all devices."
3. Call-to-Action Clarity:
"While I have basic call-to-action elements, they could be more strategically placed. Priority Call To Action as needed for:
- Schedule a counseling session
