This video accompanies the lesson below.
I hope it helps
Creating an ‘About Me’ page is one of the most important steps in building your website.
It’s where your visitors get to know you, trust you, and feel connected to your journey.
Don’t worry if you’re unsure where to begin – I’m here to guide you through each step with easy-to-follow advice and helpful examples.
1. Start with a Friendly Introduction
Your introduction sets the tone for the entire page.
Greet your visitors warmly, share your name, and explain what you do in a straightforward manner. Think of it as introducing yourself to someone new.
Why is this important? A friendly introduction makes visitors feel welcome and helps them relate to you. It’s your first chance to make a connection.
Example:
Hi! I’m Jackie, a UK-based website enthusiast who helps absolute beginners build their online presence step by step.
Step 2: Explain What Your Website is About
Your visitors need to know what your site offers and who it’s for. Be clear and concise about your website’s purpose.
Tip: Try answering these questions: What will people find here? How can it help them?
Example:
Get Online Step By Step is designed to help beginners create websites without feeling overwhelmed. Here, you’ll find easy-to-follow guides, tips, and support to build your online business from scratch.
Step 3: Share Your Story
Your story adds a personal touch and helps visitors understand your journey. Share how you started, the challenges you faced, and what motivated you.
Tip: Keep your story genuine and relatable. Don’t worry about being perfect – authenticity matters more!
Example:
When I started my online journey, I was completely lost. I couldn’t find simple, beginner-friendly guides, so I decided to create them myself. That’s how Get Online Step By Step was born!
Step 4: Show Your Passion or Purpose
Explain why you love what you do. Sharing your enthusiasm helps build a stronger connection with your audience.
Example:
I’m passionate about making technology less intimidating. Helping people build websites and grow their online presence brings me so much joy!
Step 5: Highlight Your Experience or Skills
Even if you’re a beginner, share what makes you unique. Mention relevant experiences, skills, or achievements.
Example:
With a background in primary education, I know how important clear, step-by-step instructions are, and I bring that approach to my website training.
Step 6: Make It Personal
Add a few fun facts to make your page feel human. What are your hobbies? Any interesting quirks?
When I’m not building websites, you’ll find me reading thrillers, drinking too much coffee, exploring the UK in our motorhome or in my sewing room knitting or making a quilt.
Step 7: Include a Call to Action
Encourage visitors to take the next step. This could be subscribing to your newsletter, following you on social media, or contacting you directly.
Example:
I’d love to hear from you! Feel free to reach out, ask questions, or just say hi. Let’s build something great together!
Step 8: Add a Photo (Optional)
A friendly photo builds trust. Choose one where you’re smiling and look approachable.
Step 9: Keep It Clear and Easy to Read
Use short paragraphs, clear headings, and a conversational tone. Avoid jargon – simplicity is key.
Step 10: Update Regularly
As your journey evolves, keep your About Me page updated. Share new milestones, experiences, and changes.
And Finally…
Creating an About Me page is about sharing who you are and why you do what you do.
Take your time, stay authentic, and let your passion shine through.
Your visitors will appreciate the effort and feel more connected to you.
