Websites don’t start with design.
They start with clarity.
Before layout, color, or typography, there has to be something steady to build around. The words come first. They define what matters, what needs to be said, and what the visitor needs to understand.
When the copy is grounded, the design has direction. Structure follows meaning. Choices feel intentional instead of decorative.
The strongest websites work because the message leads. Design supports it, guides attention, and creates momentum through the experience.
If you’re building or revisiting a site right now, this is where to start.
