Accessing Your Kajabi Dashboard
Logging In
First things first, let’s get you logged into your Kajabi account. Go to the Kajabi website and click on the login button. Enter your credentials, and boom! You’re in! If you’ve forgotten your password, no worries; they make it super easy to retrieve it with just a few clicks.
Once you’re inside, take a moment to familiarize yourself with the dashboard. This is where all the magic happens! You’ll see options like Products, Marketing, and of course, the Website tab. We’ll be focusing on the Website section, so keep that in mind!
Getting accustomed to the dashboard layout makes navigating a breeze. You want to know where everything is when it comes time to make a change, and trust me, the less time spent wandering around, the better!
Navigating to the Website Section
After you’ve logged in, look for the “Website” option on the left-hand side. Clicking on that will expand a dropdown menu. This is like your treasure map that will lead you to all the wonderful goodies you can tweak on your site.
Under the Website section, you’ll find options like “Pages” and “Navigation”. It’s essential to get here before we start removing those pesky pages from the navigation menu. Once you click on “Pages”, you’ll see a list of all the pages currently set up on your site.
Understanding this layout is crucial because you’ll need to know where your pages are if you want to get rid of any. Take a minute to scroll through and see what you have in the menu; knowledge is power, my friend!
Choosing the Right Menu
Now that you’re in the right area, it’s time to focus on the navigation menu itself. When you navigate to the “Navigation” part, you should be able to see which links are currently displayed on your site. This menu is what your visitors interact with, and sometimes, less is more!
Take a moment to review the sections of your navigation. You might notice that there are a few pages that don’t need to be front and center anymore. Maybe you’ve integrated a new feature, or perhaps a particular page is not receiving visits. Whatever the reason, it’s a good idea to refresh the menu to enhance user experience.
Trust me, cleaning up your navigation not only helps your visitors but also makes managing the site much more enjoyable for you. Let’s get ready for the next step, as we prepare to take action!
Selecting Pages to Remove
Identifying Unused Pages
During my time using Kajabi, I found that it was super helpful to initially identify which pages weren’t performing well. Open up each page in a new tab, give them a quick glance, and think about whether they still serve a purpose for your audience.
Consider the traffic each page gets—Google Analytics can help with this if you’re monitoring your pages closely. A page that gets little to no views is often a great candidate for removal. This makes the navigation cleaner and improves your site’s overall efficiency.
Once you’ve identified any underperforming pages, jot them down. Remember, we’re here to streamline, not complicate! This action is as much about aesthetics as it is about functionality.
Deciding What’s Essential
Now, let’s weigh your options. You don’t have to remove every page that shows low traffic, but it’s crucial to ask yourself, “Is this page essential for my audience?” If it’s not contributing to conversions or engagement, you might want to think twice about keeping it in the navigation.
Some pages might serve a background purpose but don’t need to be highlighted in your navigation. Think about whether a page helps guide your visitors towards your goals, like signing up for a service or learning about a product.
Make careful, thoughtful decisions—this is your brand we’re talking about! A well-curated menu reflects well on you and your business.
Gathering Feedback
If you’re uncertain about which pages to remove, gather feedback from your audience or team. Sometimes a fresh perspective can be invaluable. Use surveys or polls to find out if certain pages are helpful or if they find them confusing.
Engaging with your audience not only helps you make better decisions but also builds rapport. They’ll appreciate that you care enough to ask for their input! Plus, you might discover insights that surprise you.
Pulling together this feedback can take some time, but it’s worth it—removing or adjusting menu items based on user input can enhance the user experience dramatically.
Removing Pages from the Navigation
Editing the Navigation Menu
Alright, let’s get to the fun part—removing those pages! Once you’ve decided which pages need to go, head back to your navigation settings. You’ll essentially be editing the list of links that appear in your menu.
When you open the Navigation section, click on the menu where the pages are listed. Here, you’ll see options for editing or deleting the items. It’s usually just a matter of clicking a small “x” next to the page you want to remove.
Don’t worry; this part is usually very straightforward. Just keep an eye out for any confirmation prompts that Kajabi might throw your way to confirm the changes you’re making.
Checking for Save Options
After you’ve made those edits, you can’t forget to save your changes! There’s usually a prominent “Save” button or option that makes this easy. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve made changes only to forget to hit save and have to start all over again. It’s the worst!
So, make sure you save after removing pages. Check for any notifications that confirm your changes were successful. You want to be sure nothing is lost in the process.
Giving your site a fresh look can feel super satisfying, knowing you’re providing a better experience for your visitors.
Previewing Changes
Once you’ve finished removing pages, it’s time for the fun part—previewing your changes! Take a moment to check out your site as a visitor would. This helps ensure everything looks good without the removed pages and helps you spot any lingering links or navigation items.
It’s so important to view the menu from the perspective of your audience. You want to ensure that what they see is clean and easy to navigate. If you spot something that doesn’t look right, don’t hesitate to jump back into the settings to fix it!
After everything looks good to go, it’s time to bask in the glory of your newly streamlined navigation. You’ve put in the effort, and it shows!
Final Thoughts and Wrap-Up
Reviewing Your Changes
After you’ve completed the removal process, take a moment to review what you’ve done. You’ve tidied up the navigation to create a more pleasant experience for your visitors—great job! It’s essential to have an intuitive navigation system that reflects your brand’s goals.
Make it a habit to review your navigation periodically. As your business evolves, so will the needs of your audience. Keeping things fresh means you’re always adapting to serve them better.
Evaluate your analytics, stay open to feedback, and continuously improve. Your audience will appreciate your efforts, and it’ll contribute to better engagement on your site.
Encouraging User Feedback
As a final tip, encourage your audience to share feedback even after you’ve made changes. Engaging your users will foster a community feeling, making them more likely to return. Whether through emails, surveys, or social media, creating dialogue can be valuable.
If they see you actively participating in improving their experience, they’re more likely to interact with your site positively. Keep the lines of communication open to stay in tune with your audience’s needs.
Remind them that their voice matters; after all, a content user is a return user!
Final Words of Encouragement
Remember, removing pages from your navigation isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s about optimizing the user experience. You’re taking the time to refine, and that speaks volumes about your dedication. Keep experimenting and learning as you go—you got this!
So, now that you know how to clean up your navigation, give it a go! The results may surprise you, and you’ll feel much more in control of your website. Let’s make your Kajabi site work as hard as you do!
Thanks for sticking with me through this; I hope you found it helpful. Happy editing!
