Lao Tzu once said…

“The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.”

Let’s face it, you can’t be able to handle everything at once. Hence, tackle each task little by little, and put your efforts on the things that will yield the most growth. First, you may want to improve your product pages or enhance your published content. After, you could work on your product descriptions.

See, you don’t have to revamp the entire website all at once. All you need is to work on your priority list and jot down what the most important tasks are. Gradually start with a page or two until you are able to renovate every corner of the website.
