What are most important things to do before you start web design and development project for your business?

1. Find your target and budget for your website If your budget is limited find the most important target that you are looking for to achieve with new website or web design. Always make sure that you know what your budget is and know the total cost of project before you start it.
2. Marketing web design. Website itself will not work if your content is irrelevant to your target. Make sure that your “website building materials are ready” or get professional help with choosing content for you website.
3. Attractive web design. Website needs to be clear and information needs to be easy to find, without it customers might leave before you get chance to offer your services.
4. Contract. When you hire someone to create website for you make sure you have a contract. It should describe all work that it will be done as well as what are your responsibilities when it comes to providing content or payment schedule.

   • Responsive, adjusting its looks to size of display. For example same website will look different on a PC than on a smartphone. This way you can be sure that users with all kinds of devices will be able to see clear and attractive website.
   • Fast loading, none will wait 5 minutes for a website to load, make sure it loads in seconds as this is what your customers will expect.
