I want you to steal this web design process, so be sure to save this post and come back to it when you’re planning your website.
Here’s the top-secret formula:
1. Know your audience
Figure out who you’re speaking to, what they need, and what will help them trust you.
2. Write the copy first
Get clear on what you offer, who it helps, and what you want visitors to do next.
3. Give each page one topic
One clear topic helps your visitors understand the page and helps Google understand it too.
4. Plan your headings
Use one H1 for the main topic, then H2s and H3s to organize the supporting information.
5. Organize the page
Arrange your content in a logical order, from the main introduction to trust, services, proof, and your call to action.
6. Choose the vibe
Decide whether your website should feel professional, playful, calm, bold, luxurious, or somewhere in between.
7. Keep your fonts simple
Choose one font for headlines and one readable font for body copy. Your website is not a ransom note.
8. Create colour rhythm
Alternate backgrounds and use darker sections for emphasis to make the page easier to scan.
9. Add helpful visuals
Use photos and icons to support your message, show your work, and break up large sections of text.
10. Do the five-second test
Can someone quickly understand what the page is about and what they should do next?
Now you have my top-secret website formula. Use it wisely. 😉
