What to have ready before you order a website

A short list of things that make a website quicker to build and better when it is done.

THE SHORT ANSWER

Your logo, real photos, a list of what you sell, your contact details and who owns your domain. Nothing else.

In this article
  1. 01The list
  2. 02What you do not need

You do not need much to start. But a few things gathered in advance make the site quicker to build and more about your business.

01The list

  1. Your logo, in the best quality you have. If you only have a photo of your sign, send that.
  2. Photos of your own work, your shop and your team. Phone photos are fine. They show your real work, which stock pictures cannot.
  3. A list of what you sell or do, in the words your customers use.
  4. Your contact details: phone, WhatsApp, address and opening hours.
  5. Anything you already have online: an old website, Instagram, a Google Maps listing.
  6. Who owns your domain name, if you have one. Often it was registered years ago by someone else, and finding out early saves time.

02What you do not need

You do not need finished texts, a design idea or technical knowledge. Tell us about the business in your own words and we write and design from there.

Questions

What if I have no photos at all?

We can start with carefully chosen stock photos and replace them with your own later. We never present stock photos as your work.

How do I send all this?

On WhatsApp is fine. Send photos as documents so they keep their quality.
