𝟐. 𝐓𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐀𝐮𝐝𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞:
Describe your target audience – their demographics, preferences, and behaviors. This information will guide design decisions to create a user-friendly experience.
𝟑. 𝐅𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐑𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬:
Detail the specific features and functionalities you want on the website, such as e-commerce, contact forms, user registration, blog, etc.
𝟒. 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭:

Share your brand guidelines, logo, color scheme, and any existing design elements that need to be incorporated into the website’s design.
𝟔. 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐄𝐱𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐬:

𝟗. 𝐒𝐄𝐎 𝐑𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬:

𝟏𝟎. 𝐌𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐔𝐩𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬:

𝟏𝟏. 𝐇𝐨𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐃𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐢𝐧:
