Hello Reader,

It doesn’t matter if you’re using a template, AI tools, or hiring an experienced developer to build your website.

You need to know what to say, what template/tool/developer can help, and what design will attract the visitors you actually want to connect with.

It's like magic, except it isn't. It's called digital strategy.

An effective website builds lasting trust. It's a system that runs 24/7 that turns website visits into revenue/donations/impact.

To help you plan the next step for you, I’ve put together 16 yes/no questions into a website assessment, and will be presenting this on Thursday for our free quarterly strategy workshop.

Answer them honestly and you’ll come away with a much clearer picture of where to focus your site to get more of what you actually want; more event registrations, better engagement, more sales, more donations, or just feeling better about how your work shows up online.

Website Strategy Amidst Rapid Change ​In this free workshop, you'll have a chance to clarify the objective of your website and make a couple key decisions about what to do next. ​Strategy is about "Big picture” of your work. But this can also make things feel abstract and complicated. That's why we use an assessment of 16 yes/no questions to help you prioritize what's next. What to bring: ​A current link to your website (or draft) ​One key goal you want your website to support ​Your biggest “strategy” question right now Register Here (Event will appear in your time zone on the calendar)

About the Quiz

I even upgraded my ScoreApp account for one-month so there's plenty of room. Just take advantage of this chance to assess your website before it switches back. You can learn more about how I set up the quiz in the software review I just published at at buildwithmaple.com/tool/scoreapp​

My first experience working with this was setting up the quiz for virtual facilitators with Gwyn Wansbrough.

And if it gets your wheels turning, come join me Thursday for the strategy workshop. We’ll talk through what website strategy actually looks like in 2026 and how to apply it to your own site.
