What you need

  • One clear offer
  • Ideal customer description
  • Logo and brand colors
  • Proof or examples
  • Domain name

Every step

  1. 1

    Set the one purpose

    Choose the primary action: buy, book, call, apply, subscribe, or request a quote. Every page should support that action.

  2. 2

    Map the essential pages

    Use Home, Services or Products, About, Proof or Portfolio, Contact, Privacy, and Terms. Add other pages only when the customer needs them.

  3. 3

    Write the home page first screen

    State who it is for, the result, why it matters, and the main action. Remove broad slogans that could describe any company.

  4. 4

    Explain the offer

    Show outcomes, deliverables, process, timing, pricing path, frequently asked questions, and who the offer is not for.

  5. 5

    Add real proof

    Use actual work, demonstrations, credentials, process evidence, or genuine testimonials. Never invent customer results.

  6. 6

    Build mobile first

    Keep text readable, buttons thumb sized, images correctly cropped, and forms short. Check navigation without relying on hover.

  7. 7

    Connect the system

    Attach the domain, SSL, contact delivery, payments if needed, analytics, search titles, social sharing image, and confirmation pages.

  8. 8

    Test every path

    Open every link, submit every form, complete a test purchase, check spelling, and test phone, tablet, and desktop widths.

Important warnings

  • Do not publish fake testimonials or metrics.
  • Never place private API keys in browser code.
  • Use properly licensed images and fonts.
