Designing Your Website
When designing a website, not only do you need to focus on what it looks like, but also how your customers will move through it. Here is a list of web design tasks you'll need to consider before starting to design your website:
- Website branding: what are the colours and fonts of your branding? Is your logo a PNG file to display as high quality? Do you have any pre-designed website banners or images that need uploading to your website template?
- What will your website need to be able to do? Provide information about products or services? Collect customer details? Provide signups to newsletters? Sell products or services? Use a variety of payment gateways?
- Domain name: do you have a domain name already? If so, are you going to move it over to us to host? If you don't have a domain name yet, is your chosen one available? We suggest using our free domain name checker tool and registering your chosen domain name with us.
- Pages: a very simple website needs a Home, About, Contact and Terms/Conditions pages. What other pages will you need to add? Product pages, category pages, blog or news page, gallery pages? Are you wanting to use any lead magnet pages?
