Website Prep Checklist
1️⃣ Your Purpose
Decide what your website is for:
- Selling products online?
- Booking services?
- Showcasing your work?
- Getting people to contact you?
Having a clear purpose helps build the right kind of site.
2️⃣ Your Branding
Gather:
- Logo files (preferably in PNG, SVG, or transparent formats)
- Brand colors
- Fonts (if you use specific ones)
- Photos or graphics that represent your business
3️⃣ Your Content
Plan or write:
- Homepage text
- About Us page
- Services or product descriptions
- Contact information
- Blog posts or FAQs (optional but recommended for SEO)
4️⃣ Your Domain Name
If you don’t already have one, choose and register your website address (your .com, .net, etc.). If you already have a domain, make sure you have:
- The login to your domain registrar (like GoDaddy or Namecheap)
- Access to your email accounts if they’re tied to your domain
5️⃣ Hosting Plan
Decide where your website will live online.
Options include:
- Shared hosting (low-cost but slower)
- Cloud hosting (faster, scalable)
- Managed hosting (someone handles it for you)
6️⃣ A Call to Action (CTA)
Decide what you want your visitors to do:
- Call you?
- Fill out a form?
- Make a purchase?
- Book an appointment?
Make it clear and easy for them to take that action.
