Honestly for now I would focus on the door which seems to be a major issue.Temporarily make some container plantings to brighten up the area until budget allows differently.A colorful mat will also help.
Some type of railing to the left possible wrought iron would warm it up some. Not sure of what the rest of the exterior looks like so you could possible use wood. Brick mounding ( trim is not too expensive that will add some appeal. Some type of over hang will cost a bit more. As long as you are using a good exterior paint the door should hold up. Not sure how long the steps have been there. Things settle and shift. Without looking at it close up I could not truthfully tell you a fix. They are definitely pulling away from the house. Hope this helps a bit
The door trim would be my main focus for starters. Can the stairs be jacked up and leveled as a temporary fix until your budget allows for you to replace them? You can stain or paint your pavers for now until you are able to replace your walkway. You can make the area look more pleasing until you can afford the makeovers you want; that's the fun part of being a DIYer! I'd add a few potted plants to bring some color to the entryway and add a pretty seasonal wreath to the door. Enjoy the process!
Thank you Elizabeth. The door as mention in the other replies just got replaced so trim should be done shortly. I hadn't thought about staining the pavers, once I figure out the color I want for the door i can consider the pavers 😉
