Quick answer
What should I prepare before building a website?
Before building, gather your logo, contact details, service descriptions, photos, testimonials if available, and examples of websites you like. Having content ready is the single biggest factor in launching on time.
At a glance
| Brand | Logo, colours, fonts if defined |
| Business info | Services, about, contact, hours |
| Media | Photos, team headshots, product images |
| Trust | Reviews, certifications, client logos |
| References | 2–3 websites you like the style of |
Content checklist
- Business name and tagline
- Logo (vector or high-resolution PNG)
- Brand colours and fonts if you have them
- Service or product list with descriptions
- About your company — story, team, credentials
- Contact — phone, email, WhatsApp, address
- Operating hours and service areas
- Photos — office, team, products, work samples
- Testimonials or reviews (with permission)
- FAQs you hear from customers repeatedly
- Social media profile URLs
- Domain name preference if registering new
- Examples of competitor or inspiration websites
What if I don't have everything?
You can launch with core content and expand later — especially on Business plans with CMS. But missing services copy and contact details will delay any project. Start with essentials: what you do, who you help, how to contact you.
A good fit when
- ✓You are about to start a website project
- ✓You want to avoid timeline delays from missing content
It may not be necessary when
- —You already delivered a complete content pack to your developer
