#GivingTuesday is tomorrow, so here’s a little idea I had… 👀 The biggest boosts usually come from tiny tweaks. Things like: A sharper headline. A clearer story and CTA. Smarter defaults. A smoother checkout flow. So if you want a quick, last-minute check before tomorrow, I’ll review the ✨FIRST THREE✨ donation pages dropped in the comments. I’ll send back simple edits you can make today. Nothing heavy. Just the “tighten this up and you’ll see a difference” kind of stuff.
