Are you an ambitious entrepreneur, a busy mum in business, or a woman making big moves in your career? If you’re ready to elevate your brand with a beautiful new website, you might be thinking, “Where do I even start?” Hiring a website designer is a significant step! However, being prepared can make the process smoother and faster.
Plus, it helps you get the website of your dreams!

Here are three simple (but super important) steps to take before booking in with a website designer:
1. Clarify Your Brand Identity
You’ve built your business with passion. Your website should reflect that! Before you book a website designer, take the time to define your brand identity. What are your core values? Who are you trying to reach? What makes your business stand out? Think about your brand’s personality. Is it bold and daring, soft and nurturing, or something in between? A clear understanding of your brand will help your designer bring your vision to life. This clarity ensures your website speaks directly to your audience.
2. Gather Your Content
Now is the time to collect all the essentials: the copy, images, videos, and branding elements for your website. Having this organized ahead of time will save you time down the road. It also ensures your website has a consistent look and feel. Think of it as preparing the foundation for your website. Your designer will appreciate the head start, and you'll see faster results!
Don’t worry if you don’t have everything polished yet. Start with the basics, and your designer can help refine things along the way.
Pro tip: Start jotting down ideas for key pages like “About” and “Services.” Keep them in one handy place for easy access.
3. Set Your Website Goals
What do you want your website to achieve? Is it a place for clients to book services, shop for products, or simply get to know your brand? Clearly defined goals help guide the design process. This way, your website will be not only beautiful but also functional and strategic.
Whether it’s boosting sales, building brand awareness, or growing your email list, make sure to communicate your goals to your designer. They can work with you to create a website that supports your specific objectives.
Additional Steps to Consider
Research Your Competitors
Take time to research your competitors. Look at their websites and analyze what you like and dislike about them. This information can guide your choices. Understanding what others in your niche are doing can also help you differentiate your website.
Determine Your Budget
Set a budget for your website project. Knowing how much you're willing to invest can help you and your designer make the best choices. A clear budget will guide your designer in creating a website that fits your needs without compromise.
Choose Your Platform
Think about which platform you’d like to use for your website. Each has its pros and cons. Whether it's WordPress, Wix, or Squarespace, choose a platform that aligns with your technical comfort level.
