Website insights
Clear ideas.
Better website decisions.
Practical guidance for businesses and agencies planning, improving, and maintaining a WordPress website.
A useful starting point
Four questions to ask
before a redesign.
Start with your visitors and your business needs. The visual design comes from that understanding.
01
Who is it for?
Define the main audience and the questions they need answered.
02
What should they do?
Choose the main next step: enquire, book, purchase, or learn more.
03
What should improve?
Identify the problems in your current content, navigation, or editing.
04
How will you know?
Agree useful indicators such as completed enquiries and task success.
WordPress website care
A few habits that make
ongoing care easier.
Keep a record of your hosting, domain, and important software licences. Agree who is responsible for renewals, updates, and website changes.
Confirm how backups are stored and restored. After important updates, check your main pages and enquiry forms rather than assuming that everything still works.
Review your content regularly. Outdated offers, broken links, and unclear contact information can make a technically working website less useful to a customer.
Planning an agency partnership
Define the working arrangement
before handing over the brief.
A good white-label relationship depends on more than development skills.
- Agree the scope, communication, and review process.
- Decide who communicates with the end client.
- Confirm file ownership, credentials, and handover requirements.
- Put confidentiality and portfolio permissions in writing.
- Start with a defined task when establishing a new workflow.
