Before you build

What do I need before building a website?

Website planning checklist:

  1. Goal: leads, sales, bookings, credibility? Define one main action
  2. Audience: who visits and what they need to find quickly
  3. Pages & content: services, about, projects, contact — text, photos, testimonials
  4. Domain & professional email (e.g. Microsoft 365)
  5. Brand: logo, colours, fonts
  6. SEO plan: the searches you want to rank for; Google Business Profile for local
  7. Integrations: forms, WhatsApp, booking, CRM, payments
  8. Analytics: GA4 and conversion tracking
  9. Legal: privacy policy, cookie consent where required
  10. Who maintains it: content updates, security, backups
