What to prepare before starting a website project

Six things that make a website project faster, cheaper and less stressful.

ยท 4 min read

Most website delays come from missing content and unclear decisions, not from development. Preparing these six things helps your project move quickly.

1. A clear goal

What should a visitor do? Call you, request a quote, buy a product? One main goal shapes every page.

2. A page list

List the pages you need. For each, write two or three sentences about its purpose.

3. Brand assets

Collect your logo files, colours and any brand guidelines. If you have none, plan a branding step first.

4. Content owner

Choose one person who writes or approves content and gives feedback.

5. Domain and hosting access

Make sure you can log in to your domain registrar and hosting account. Do not share passwords by email; we will explain safer ways to grant access.

6. Examples you like

Note two or three websites you like and say why. This saves design time.
