01
Foundation
About Your Business
— The Good Foundation

Why we ask: Before we design a single pixel, we need to understand what your business actually does, who it serves, and what makes it worth choosing. This section shapes every design decision we make.

In plain English — how would you describe it to a stranger at a dinner party?
If you don't have one yet, what do you want customers to feel when they think of you?
Be specific — "great service" doesn't count. What do you do that others don't or won't?
02
What You Offer
Services & Specialisms
— The Good Work

Why this matters for your website: Every service you offer needs its own clear home on the site — both for clients to find what they need and for search engines to understand your full range of expertise. The more specific you are here, the more targeted your pages can be.

Include everything — core services, secondary services, add-ons, packages, and anything you offer even occasionally. Don't filter yet. We'll organize them together.
These become your primary service pages and receive the most prominent placement in your navigation and homepage.
This is the thing you do better than anyone — the corner of your industry where you are genuinely the expert. Even if it's a smaller part of your overall revenue, it's often the most powerful thing to lead with.
Hidden services are missed opportunities. If clients regularly say "I didn't know you did that!" — it belongs prominently on the site.
We can build pages and content designed specifically to bring in more of the work you want — not just the work you've historically done.
Optional but useful — knowing what you don't want helps us avoid attracting those leads through the site.
03
Your People
Target Audience
— Good People
Who is the exact person you most want to reach? Be as specific as possible.
What stops them from saying yes? Price, trust, skepticism, time?
04
Purpose
Website Goals
— The Good Goal
Why This Matters

A website without a clear primary goal is a brochure with a URL. We design every page, button, and headline around driving your #1 outcome.

05
Conversion
Messaging & Trust
— The Good First Impression
Why This Section Matters

Most websites lose a visitor in the first five seconds — not because of bad design, but because the messaging doesn't immediately answer "what is this, who is it for, and why should I care?" These questions directly shape your homepage headline, subheadline, and call to action. There are no right or wrong answers — just honest ones.

If someone landed on your homepage right now and left after 5 seconds, what's the one thing you'd want them to walk away knowing? This becomes your headline.
This is your core value proposition — the reason someone should choose you over every other option. Be specific. Generic answers produce generic websites.
Pretend a prospect is comparing you side-by-side with your top competitor. What's the deciding factor that should tip them toward you?
This is the button or action that appears most prominently on your homepage.
e.g. "Learn More" linking to services, "See Our Work" linking to the portfolio, "Meet the Team" — something lower-commitment for visitors not ready to act yet.
These are the proof points that make a skeptical visitor feel safe enough to keep reading. Check everything that applies to you.
A real quote, verbatim if you have it. This often becomes the most powerful line on the homepage.
Price, location, niche focus, size of firm — if prospects ever raise a concern before hiring you, the homepage should proactively answer it.
