The Ultimate Website Checklist

Build smarter, not harder. Discover the must-know planning secrets before launching or redesigning your website.

In this session you will learn:

  • Define what success looks like for your website before writing a single line of code.
  • Understand who’s visiting, what they want, and how to guide them to take action.
  • Structure pages, CTAs, and trust signals that turn clicks into customers.
  • Design for the device your customers use most, ensuring speed and simplicity. 
  • Accessibility isn’t optional; it expands your audience and builds trust.
  • Lay the SEO and performance foundations so Google (and customers) can’t miss you.
  • Secure data, stay compliant, and avoid costly mistakes with the proper setup.
