What to Prepare Before Your Website Project Starts
By Website in Gurgaon · · 2 min read
Most website delays have nothing to do with design or code. They happen because content, photos or logins were not ready. An hour of preparation can save weeks.
Business details
- Business name exactly as registered and as shown on your signboard
- Full address, phone numbers, email and opening hours
- GST number if it needs to appear on invoices or the site
- Links to your Google Business Profile and social media pages
Brand material
- Logo in the best quality you have, ideally the original design file
- Brand colours and fonts, if decided
- Any brochures or visiting cards, so the website matches
Content
- A list of your services or products, in order of importance
- A few lines on each: what it is, who it is for, what it includes
- Prices, if you plan to show them
- The questions customers ask you most often
- A short history of the business and the people behind it
Photos
Real photos of your premises, team and work do more for trust than stock images. Phone photos taken in good daylight are fine to start with.
Access
- Domain registrar login, if you already own a domain
- Current hosting login, if there is an existing site
- Access to Google Business Profile, Search Console and analytics
Decisions to make early
- Who in your business gives feedback and final approval
- Three websites you like and what you like about them
- Whether you want to edit the site yourself after launch
- Your ideal launch date and any event it is tied to
