Alright, you've got that exciting discovery call with your website designer lined up β awesome! To make the most of that chat and get your project off to a flying start, here are some things to think about beforehand
1. Website Goals
What's your website's main purpose? Is it to show off your work, sell your amazing products, offer online courses, or just tell your story?
Who are you talking to? Who's your ideal website visitor? Knowing your audience helps your designer create a website that they'll love.
What's the vibe? What kind of feeling do you want your website to give off? Is it cool and modern, playful and fun, or something totally different? Share any inspiration you've found β Pinterest boards, magazine clippings, anything that captures the look and feel you're going for.
2. Talk about Features!
Selling Online? If you're a dropshipper or have an e-commerce store, you'll need features like product pages, a shopping cart, secure checkout, and ways to manage your inventory.
Online Courses: Offering courses or memberships? Think about a special members' area, progress trackers, quizzes, and forums to make learning fun and interactive.
Blog Star: Want to share your knowledge and connect with your audience through a blog? Think about categories, search options, and social sharing buttons.
Get in Touch: How should people contact you? Consider contact forms, email sign-ups, and maybe even a live chat option.
3. Design Dreams
Layout: Do you like things clean and simple, or are you more into bold colors and eye-catching graphics?
Navigation: How should people move around your website? We'll make it super easy for them to find what they're looking for.
Visuals: Got a logo, color palette, or fonts you love? Share them! Or maybe you have some cool images in mind. The more visual inspiration, the better!
4. Tech Talk (Don't worry, it's easy!)
Website Address: Do you already have a domain name (your website's address), or do you need help getting one?
Hosting: Do you have a hosting provider (where your website lives online), or do you need some recommendations?
Platform: Will your website be built on a specific platform like WordPress, Squarespace, or Shopify?
Pro Tip: The more info you give your designer, the better! We're like website detectives, and we need all the clues we can get to create something amazing for you. π΅οΈββοΈβ¨
