Don’t know what you want from your new website? Follow these tips.
Feeling overwhelmed about creating or upgrading your business website? This guide simplifies the process by helping you define your website’s purpose, envision its design, and plan its content. From setting clear goals—like generating leads or showcasing your work—to choosing a cohesive color scheme and leveraging competitor insights, these practical tips will steer you toward smart decisions. Whether you’re starting fresh or giving your site a facelift, Starfire Web Design is here to support you in building a site that boosts your business and stands out online.
How Many Pages?
With your website’s purpose and message defined, the next step is determining how many pages it needs based on the information you want to share and your budget. A simple three-page site—home, contact, and a third for prices or a blog—can work for some, while others, like our client, require more. She opted for a clean landing page plus dedicated pages for scheduling (with sub-pages for hours and booking), services, contact, a gallery (split into three sections), an about section (with six staff sub-pages), and a blog—totaling 18 pages. This tailored structure sets the stage for the next phase of her site’s development. Stay tuned!
First Things First
Kicking off a new website build starts with two key questions: What do you want your site to do, and what message should it send? For our salon client, the answer was a site that’s a hub for finding the business, browsing services and prices, booking appointments, shopping online, and showcasing staff and work—while feeling clean, professional, and high-end with a touch of whimsy. With 14 years in business, she knew her audience and wanted a welcoming vibe that says, “Relax, enjoy top-notch service, and leave refreshed.” Defining your site’s purpose and message is step one—your homework before we dive deeper in future posts!
