THE CHECKLIST

10 features that should be part of your website conversation.

Not every business needs exactly the same implementation, but these areas deserve attention during planning.

01

Mobile-First Design

Your website should provide a smooth experience on smartphones and tablets as well as desktop computers.

02

WhatsApp Integration

Give customers a convenient way to begin conversations when WhatsApp is part of your customer journey.

03

Fast Performance

Slow pages can frustrate visitors and hurt the overall experience. Performance should be considered from the beginning.

04

HTTPS Security

Use HTTPS and sensible security controls to protect the website and the information exchanged through it.

05

Clear Calls to Action

Tell customers what to do next: request a quote, call, book, buy or start a conversation.

06

Professional Contact Forms

Collect the information your team actually needs without making the form unnecessarily difficult.

07

SEO-Ready Structure

Use sensible headings, metadata, URLs, internal links and content architecture that search engines can understand.

08

Analytics

Measure traffic, engagement and important conversion actions so decisions can be based on evidence.

09

Testimonials & Proof

Show customers that other people have trusted the business and experienced its work.

10

Easy Content Management

Your team should be able to update appropriate website content without rebuilding the entire site.

A COMMON MISTAKE

Don’t confuse having features with having a useful website.

A website can contain dozens of plugins and still provide a poor customer experience. The goal is not maximum functionality. The goal is useful functionality.

The better question is:

Does this feature help the customer, the business or both?

THE RESULT

Build a website that works as part of the business.

The strongest websites connect design, technology, marketing and customer experience instead of treating the website as an isolated project.
