Web Design Checklist

Get ready for a smooth, successful web design journey. Before we dive in, let’s make sure you have the essentials in place so your website launch goes off without a hitch.
Domain & Hosting Details
  • Secure your domain name (for example: www.yourbrand.com) or have a few ideas ready if you haven’t yet.
  • Set up or identify your hosting provider and make sure you’ve got your login credentials on hand.
  • Create a professional, branded email address (e.g., hello@yourbrand.com instead of yourbrand@gmail.com)—this helps with credibility and marketing.
  • If you’ll be sending marketing materials, make sure you have a valid business address (not a P.O. box) on file for legal compliance. You can purchase one from Virtually There
Content & Media Assets

Be ready with the key materials we’ll need to build out your site:

  • Written copy for your main pages: Home, About Us, Services/Products, Contact.
  • Service or product descriptions with key features, benefits, pricing (if applicable).
  • High-quality imagery or visuals (product shots, team photos, brand lifestyle images).
  • Any pre-existing promotional assets you’d like included (banners, videos, graphics).

Branding Identity

Make sure you’ve gathered your branding files and guidelines:

  • Your logo in high resolution (preferably .PNG, .PDF).
  • Brand colours and hex codes (primary, secondary, accent colours).
  • Brand fonts if you have them (and any “must use” or “avoid” fonts).
  • Links to your social media profiles or any external platforms you want integrated.
Functional & Feature Requirements

Let’s get clear on what your site needs to do:

  • A list of pages and functionality you want (e.g., blog, e-commerce store, booking module, portfolio).
  • Any third-party integrations (email marketing tool, CRM, analytics, social feed, appointment tool).
  • Contact forms or lead-capture forms (what fields, where they should go, what happens on submit?).
  • Any specific technical or accessibility requirements.
Design Inspiration & Preferences

The creative direction matters. Help us understand your vision:

  • Share links to websites you like (and what you like about them).
  • Note design elements you wish to avoid.
  • Specify the vibe you’re after (clean/minimalist, bold/colourful, luxury/understated).
  • Layout preferences, e.g., “full-width hero image”, “side navigation”, “one-page scroll”.
Legal, Policy & Compliance Info

Ensure your site covers its bases:

  • Any disclaimers you need to include (for example for service-based offerings).
  • Your store or service policies (shipping, returns, refunds, terms of service).
  • Privacy policy, cookie notice, accessibility statement—if applicable.
