You need a website — here’s why

You need a website — here’s why

We’re all online, but how we show up online is a whole different story.

If you’re still sending people to your LinkedIn, your resume, and a handful of social links, it might be time for something better: your own personal website.

Not because you’re trying to be an influencer.

But because in today’s world, your digital presence is your first impression.

The digital first impression is everything

Think about the last time you Googled someone. Maybe it was a potential collaborator, a job applicant, or someone you just met.

Now flip it: when people Google you, what do they find?

  • A half-updated LinkedIn?
  • A scattered list of links?
  • Maybe nothing?

That’s not really a digital presence. It’s a breadcrumb trail.

And it doesn’t do justice to who you are.

You already have a brand, but it’s just scattered

You don’t have to be a business or a content creator to have a personal brand.

If you exist online, you already have one.

The question is: are you shaping it or letting platforms decide for you?

Because here’s the truth:

  • A LinkedIn bio isn’t your full story
  • An Instagram grid isn’t your portfolio
  • A resume isn’t your personality

You’re more than a list of jobs or a bunch of curated snapshots.

And your online presence should reflect all of you, not just the parts that fit into a template.

So… what is a personal website?

It’s not about being techy. It’s not about being famous.

A personal website is just that — personal.

It’s your space to tell your story, share your work, and help people connect with the real you.

It can be super simple:

  • A one-page profile with your story, links, and projects
  • A visual portfolio that shows off what you do
  • A home for your ideas, services, or side projects

Think of it like your digital living room.

Your corner of the internet.

A place that feels like you.

Why it matters more than ever

Today, work is remote. Opportunities come through DMs and referrals. People search before they ask.

Having a personal site helps you:

  • Look professional
  • Share your story in your own voice
  • Be findable on your terms
  • Evolve as you grow

And honestly, it just feels good to have everything in one clean, memorable place.
