What do you need from me to get started?
To get started on a small business website, most providers need basic business information, branding details, and approval on structure and goals. The exact requirements vary, but the process should be simple and guided, not overwhelming.
Basic information most website projects need
Almost every website project starts with a few essentials.
These usually include:
We design every website with a clear strategy built around how customers search, decide, and take action online — not just how a site looks.
✅ Website structure planned around search intent and buyer behavior
✅ Clear messaging that explains what you do in seconds
✅️ Strategic page flow that leads visitors toward calls, bookings, or forms
✅️ Built to support long-term SEO and marketing growth
This ensures your website works as a lead-generation asset, not a digital brochure.
Your website pages are built intentionally — each one serving a purpose for SEO, trust, and conversions.
✅ SEO-optimized service pages targeting real customer searches
✅️ Clear headings, sections, and calls-to-action
✅️ Location-ready structure for local search visibility
✅️ Pages designed to support ads, CRM tracking, and follow-ups
Every page is structured to help customers find you, trust you, and contact you.
Website speed and performance directly impact rankings, user experience, and conversions. We build with performance in mind from day one.
✅️ Fast load times on desktop and mobile
✅️ Clean code and optimized assets
✅️ Mobile-first layouts for modern search behavior
✅️ Reduced bounce rates and higher engagement
A faster website means better SEO, better conversions, and better results.
We don’t just “add SEO” — your website is structured to support it long-term.
✅️Proper heading hierarchy (H1–H3)
✅️ SEO-friendly URLs and internal linking
✅️ Metadata, indexing, and crawlability set up correctly
✅️ Built to support ongoing content, blogs, and service expansion
This gives your business a strong SEO foundation instead of short-term tricks.
✅️ Business name and contact details
✅️ Services or products offered
✅️ Target service area
✅️ Preferred contact methods
This information helps ensure accuracy and clarity from day one.
Branding and content items
If available, providers may ask for:
✅️ Logo files
✅️ Brand colors or style preferences
✅️ Photos of your business or team
✅️ Existing website or social links
If you don’t have these yet, many services can help guide or create them.
Goals and expectations
Understanding what you want the website to do is critical.
Common goals include:
✅️ Generating leads
✅️ Booking appointments
✅️ Providing basic information
✅️ Supporting marketing efforts
Clear goals help shape the structure and features of the site.
What you usually don’t need to worry about
Many business owners assume they need to handle technical tasks themselves, but that’s rarely the case.
You typically do NOT need to:
✅️ Choose hosting providers
✅️ Manage servers
✅️ Handle security setup
✅️ Configure performance tools
These tasks are usually handled by the website provider.
