1. Lead with context
Say who you are and what visitors can expect before presenting the menu.
2. Make the first click obvious
Put the most important action first, and write its label like a useful promise.
3. Edit without sentimentality
A shorter list creates more confidence than a crowded one. Keep the links that represent where you are going.
4. Add proof
A project, note, or small result gives the page a pulse.
5. Return often
Your page should change as your work changes.
“Every link should earn its place.”
