Website Checklist for website content
Every page on your website must have relevant content that is relevant to your target market. Delivers what you are promising and solve or answer questions your target market is looking for in your website.
Give value if you didn’t read my previous article about why you need a website. I said it, and I will repeat it. A website is for your customers. Put your readers first by solving their problems on your website. Give them tips, answer how-to questions, and understand their pain point so you can help them solve their problems with your products or services.
Create trust you’re your audience by doing research, checking for articles written by experts, and getting results. Check your spelling and grammar, we are not perfect, yes, but try to create trust and reduce your spelling mistakes.
Design a website that is clear enough that not too much is going on that can confuse your potential clients. Links are clear and visible, write short sentences, and avoid using big words that make potential clients will feel stupid because they have no idea what you are talking about, but rather teach them.
A clear Call to Action is what you want your readers to do. On every page, you want to have one call to action so, make it simple.
Every time you write a blog post, a page, or social media post, write with one action in mind. You want your visitors to take action is not only a sales page that has a call to action.Use keyword tools like Keywords everywhere.
- Identify words your potential visitors may use to search for your services or products.
- Decide which keywords you want to rank for on your website then incorporate those keywords.
- Write the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) then use these questions to create content on your site. Website content is more important than website design.
- What do you want each page to say to your potential client?
Website design checklist
- Colors you want to use on the website that is most likely in the logo.
- Look at a design or layout you like.

Don’t get me wrong, website design is important, but website content is more important. Keep the reader in mind when you design your website, can they access your website from their phones, tablets, etc?
