Name the job of the site

A website is not “an online presence”. It is a tool: generate enquiries, take bookings, explain a service, publish research, or sell a product. Pick one primary job. Secondary jobs can wait. If everything is a priority, the homepage will be a poster and conversion will be accidental.

List pages, not colours

Start with an information architecture: Home, Services, About, Contact, and any tools (quote form, login, blog). Write one sentence per page describing the visitor’s next action. Collect logos, brand colours, and three competitor URLs. Decide who will update content after launch. If nobody will log in, do not buy a complex CMS you will never use.

Talk about performance and ownership

Ask where the site will be hosted, who owns the domain, and whether you need a blog, multilingual pages, or integrations (WhatsApp, payments, booking). Mobile layout is not optional. Search engines need titles, descriptions, and a sitemap — which this studio includes as a foundation, not an add-on.
