So you’ve decided to go ahead and get that website. What now?
The first step is to be prepared for the development. Put together the required content needed for the website, even if it’s only in note or dot point format.
Then, once you’ve decided who is going to make it, i.e. Web One Design Studio, you can be ready to hand over the content at the very beginning of the development, making it as fluid as possible. Often not having the content ready is what delays a website’s development.
And from a developer’s point of view it is better to get too much from the client rather than not enough so put together as much as you can think of that would be relevant to promoting your business.
Here’s a list of things you should consider;
- Website structure (what pages you want) - this will help to identify what information you will need
- Logos & corporate colours
- Images - the bigger in size the better! (products or services, projects, anything relevant to the business, industry or the mood of the website)
- Text (remember every page needs at least 200-250 words for search engine indexing)
The next step is to commission the development of your website and hand over the content. And notice the quietly pleased look on the developers face when you actually have the content for him or her in advance!
