You wouldn’t build a house without a blueprint, so why are you trying to build a website without a plan? 🧵👇
Before you or a developer touches a line of code, you need to check these 5 things off your list:
🎨 1. Visual Brand Identity: Don’t wing your design. Stick to a strict 2-font rule (one for headings, one for body text) to keep it clean. Pick at least 6 brand colors to keep your palette consistent, and finalize your logo assets.
🗺️ 2. Plan Your Site: Set up clear SMART goals for what the site needs to achieve. Write out a complete sitemap so you know what lives where, and identify if you’ll need custom post types for specialized content.
✍️ 3. Create Content First: Nobody knows your business like you do. Don’t buy a template and try to squeeze your business into it—write your content first. It is the single most important task you have.
🌐 4. Choose Your Domain: A lot goes into this choice. It needs to be memorable, easy to spell, and properly aligned with your brand identity.
🚀 5. Choose Your Hosting: Where will your website live? Your hosting plan directly determines how fast your website loads based on the specific technical resources your business requires.
