You do not need to know anything about code, hosting or design to get a good website. You need to know your business. A good web designer handles the rest and explains it as you go.
1. Start with one goal
Decide the one thing you want a visitor to do: call you, book, buy, or come in. Every page should make that one action easy. A site that tries to do everything usually does nothing well.
2. What to gather
- Your logo, if you have one, in the original file.
- A short description of what you do and who you serve.
- Your services or products, with prices if you share them.
- Hours, address, phone and email.
- Real photos of your work, your place and your team.
- A domain name. If you do not have one yet, your designer can help you pick and register one in your name.
3. The pages you need
Most new businesses need four to six pages: Home, Services, About, Contact, and often a Gallery or FAQ. A single page can work too, as long as it answers what customers ask most.
4. Start small, grow later
You do not need a large site on day one. At Web Chick a one-page website is $950, built for new businesses on a budget. When you are ready for a full site, the entire $950 is credited toward it, so starting lean never costs you.
Every Web Chick site is hand-coded, works on phones, and is built to ADA and WCAG standards from the start, at no extra charge.
5. How it goes with Web Chick
- Call or message about your business.
- Get a quote.
- I build the design and send it for review.
- You approve, and the site launches.
- After launch, send updates any time. They are done within 24 hours.
The short version
Pick one goal, gather your logo, services, hours and real photos, register your domain in your name, and start with the pages customers need most. A $950 one-page site from Web Chick is credited in full toward a bigger site later.
