How I Approach a New Website Project
A website isn't just about choosing a nice template, adding images, and publishing it.
Before I write a single line of code or start designing in Elementor, I want to understand the business behind the website.
Here's how I approach a new website project:
🔹 1. Understand the business
I start by learning about the company's services, target audience, goals, and what makes the business different.
🔹 2. Identify the website's goal
Is the goal to generate leads, sell products, book appointments, build credibility, or simply provide information?
The goal determines the structure.
🔹 3. Understand the target audience
A website should be designed for the people who will actually use it, not just for the business owner.
I consider what visitors need to know before they're willing to take action.
🔹 4. Plan the structure
Before designing, I map out the important pages, navigation, calls-to-action, and user journey.
🔹 5. Focus on conversion
Every important page should have a clear purpose and a logical next step.
A beautiful website that doesn't generate inquiries isn't doing enough for the business.
🔹 6. Design for mobile first
The website needs to work smoothly across phones, tablets, and desktops.
🔹 7. Build with performance in mind
I pay attention to page speed, responsive design, usability, and clean structure.
🔹 8. Test before launch
I check forms, buttons, links, responsiveness, navigation, and the overall user experience before handing the website over.
My goal isn't simply to deliver a website.
My goal is to build a website that supports the client's business objectives.
Because the best website isn't necessarily the one that looks the most impressive.
It's the one that helps the business achieve its goals.
What's the most important thing you look for when choosing a business website?
