Question: What do you look for on a website?
Answer from Helene
Whether I can sense a real person behind it — or just a styled-up brand that wants to sell me something. When everything is too polished and too loud, I don't trust it. What's natural and quiet is what convinces me. The rest I feel in my gut.

In the chat, you ask Helene your own questions — about your audience, your offer, your copy.
