Footnotes

  • I use Whimsical ↗ to create sitemaps before the design process, but Octopus ↗ is also a good alternative.
  • This phase is where we should think fast and break things before developing and designing. It's cheaper to make mistakes in this phase. Finalize the website's structure and create the basic layout only!
  • It is important to ensure that your platform sticks to industry standards and that the interface is easy to manage for you. It is essential to use a template or page builder that loads quickly. If you haven’t decided yet, check out my Landing Page Builders collection.
  • For instance, a business website generally consists of four main pages: the Home page, the About page, the Services/Products page, and either the Contact or Pricing page.
  • You don't have to write a privacy policy on your own or hire a consultant to do that for you if you don't need tailored needs. Find a tool that is able to generate legal documents on Landing Page Checklist.
  • Explaining the nuances of on-page SEO could make this checklist more complicated, and it's an entirely different domain by itself. To understand it better, check Ahref's On-Page SEO: What It Is + How to Do It ↗ article.
