Building a website is an essential part of any business. But there are many considerations to take into account when you begin the process. From identifying user needs to creating content, some factors determine your website’s success. Asking the right questions during this process can make all the difference. In this guide, we will discuss some of the most important questions to ask before building a website.

Identifying user needs is a critical first step. It’s important to understand what users expect from your site, both now and in the future. Ask yourself questions like: “Who are my target visitors?” “What do they need to access on my website?” “How often do they visit my website?” If you understand your target audience, you can develop an effective strategy to reach it.
2. Infrastructure & Testing
- Does the website do what it was built for?
- Can your clients contact you?
- Is your portfolio accessible for clients to view?
- Is your website compatible with different browsers?
- Is all data stored within your site properly secured?
