Design Checklist
Once you've planned your site using our 10
Step Web Site Planning Guide, you can use this
Website Design Checklist to help you gather your
content and focus your design ideas.
If you feel that you need help with your Website Design Checklist, contact your website designer or our friendly and experienced support team.
Start Brainstorming:
-
Gather
your best brainstormers and/or those who will
be making decisions on the design, look and
content of the web site and get their input.
(It's best to
have
their input now instead of a month
from now at your site launching party!)
-
To
get the juices flowing, check out competitor
or similar sites and identify what you like and
don't
like about them in the way of design, graphics,
content and navigation.
Define the Mood of
Your Site:
-
Do you want the "mood" of
your site to be fun? classy? suit and tie?
simple and
clean? flashy?
-
Consider your current print materials.
-
How
will your site continue to reflect your desired company image?
Think about Layout & Navigation:
-
Consider your web site from the perspective
of your audience; not your organisation.
-
How
will visitors want to explore your site? Will
they want to see a list of services? a catalog
of products?
see examples of your work? or get a
quote?
-
How
do you want your customers to contact you? email? online contact
form? phone?
Grab Them on the Home
Page:
-
What
are the top 5 questions people ask you about your
products or services? The answers
to those should be on your site and easily accessible
on or from your home page.
-
Write
a short paragraph or bulleted list that emphasizes
your "unique
concept or benefit" that makes
buying or using your products or services a must. Will your motto work well on
the site?
Consider Colors & Graphics:
-
Simple color schemes and fewer graphical
elements are easier to read.
-
We
can repeat your printed material's look throughout
your site or come
up with a color scheme for you.
-
We can use your existing logo or create one
for you.
-
Keep in mind that more graphics and photos
increase load time.
Define Work Process & Schedule:
-
What is the best way for us to keep in contact?
-
How
should we collect site materials?
-
What is your target
date for completion?
Additional Considerations
for Shopping Cart Sites:
-
How many products do you want to sell online?
-
Can the products be
grouped into logical categories?
-
Do you have product
descriptions and photos?
-
What kind of order method
do you need?
-
Browse catalog to order
-
Type in product id numbers
to order
-
Select multiple items from one page to
order
-
Will there be quantity pricing or bulk items?
-
Will
you be selling to both retail and wholesale customers?
-
What
will your shipping charges or special order
considerations be?
Additional Considerations
for Content Management Sites:
-
Define
what type and how much content you want to manage.
Will it be lists? newsletters? articles?
a calendar?
-
If
you update a piece of content, say an event calendar,
at least once
a month, it's a good candidate
for inclusion.
-
Consider
who will be managing the content or if you will give the data to us to
update your website.
Once you feel that you are ready to take the next step, contact us or your website designer and get start promoting your products or services online.
