Starting a website build can feel overwhelming, but knowing what information to provide can make the process much smoother. Whether you’re creating a new website or rebuilding an existing one, providing the right details upfront helps us craft a site that fits your business perfectly. Here’s what we need to get started:
Business Overview
Tell us about your business so we can align your website with your brand. Include:
A brief description of your business
Your mission and values
Any unique selling points that set you apart from competitors
Target Audience
Understanding your target audience ensures the design and functionality match their needs. Share details about:
The demographics of your ideal customers (age, location, interests)
The challenges they face and how your business solves them
Branding Details
If you already have branding, provide:
Your logo (preferably vector files like .AI or .SVG)
Your brand colors and fonts
Any other visual elements (icons, patterns, etc.)
Don’t have branding yet? No problem—we can help create a cohesive design that works for you.
Website Structure and Pages
Think about the pages you want on your website. For a website rebuild, let us know which pages need updates or which should remain. Common pages include:
Homepage
About Us
Services or Products
Testimonials or Reviews
Contact Us
Blog or FAQ
Be specific about what you want on each page and how it should be organized.
Functional Features
Let us know what special features your site needs, such as:
Contact forms or booking systems
E-commerce functionality (if selling online)
Custom integrations (e.g., email marketing or CRM systems)
Social media integration
Membership areas or forums
Competitor Websites for Inspiration
Share any websites you admire, especially those in your industry. This helps us understand your aesthetic preferences and functional needs.
Domain and Hosting Information
If you already have a domain and hosting provider, provide the login details. If not, we can help you choose the best options for your website.
SEO Keywords and Strategy
Share any SEO keywords or phrases you’d like to target. If you have an existing SEO strategy, send that over, too. If not, don’t worry—we’ll ensure your site is set up for SEO success with on-page optimizations.
Maintenance and Updates
Do you plan on maintaining the site yourself, or would you prefer to subscribe to a maintenance plan? A maintenance plan is key to keeping your site up-to-date, secure, and functional after launch.
