Start with the business goal
Before choosing layouts or plugins, clarify what the website should achieve. A service business may need more leads, an ecommerce brand may need stronger product pages, and a portfolio may need trust-building proof.
Prepare the page list
Write down the pages you need: Home, About, Services, Portfolio, Blogs, Contact, Privacy Policy, and Terms. This helps the developer estimate the structure and timeline.
Collect content and assets
Prepare logo files, brand colors, service descriptions, testimonials, project images, contact details, and inspiration links. Good content speeds up the design and development process.
Decide which features matter
Examples include contact forms, WhatsApp buttons, maps, FAQs, blogs, WooCommerce products, booking links, newsletter forms, and speed or SEO setup.
