Thanks for Downloading This Handy
Guide To Designing Your Website
This is a basic version of the form that we give to our
clients to help prepare content for their new website.
When putting a website together for the first time, it
can be hard deciding what is relevant and what isn't
and how best to present the information.
This is purely a guide and in no way is it exhaustive
but should you use J2K to help promote your
business, we will use a form similar to this to get you
started.
Just for fun, why not print this form of and fill it
in.
Afterwards, if you want to, you can contact us via
email or phone and share with us your insights.
Between us we are sure; we can come up with some
cracking ideas!
We look forward to hearing from you
Regards
J2K Team

Section 3: Examples of Websites
This is to give us an idea of what you like and don’t like in
terms of web design. This will help us to design your site in
a way that reflects you and your business.
List 3 websites you like List 3 websites you dislike
Why do you like them?
Think about design, content,
layout? Do you like the way
they are written for
example?
The fuller your answer the
better J2K can help you with
your design
What’s wrong with them? Are
the sites easy to use? The
graphics ok? The content
readable and easy to
understand or too technical?
Again, the fuller your answer
the better!

Section 5: Content of your site
We need clear ideas and instructions about the content that
you would like on your new site. Please answer all the
questions as these will prompt you and aid your wording for
the website
Home page.
 Think about your audience – who is going to be reading
your site? Will the information on it entice them to
stay?
 Do you need to highlight any offers for
services/products?
 Do you want an introduction to your home page? I.e.
welcome to......
 Bear in mind that this is your ‘shop’ window, people like
fresh, clean and attention grabbing ideas
Please use the remaining space to write a brief outline for
your home page. Keep in mind the above points and most
of important of all, Be yourself!

About Page:
 This is your moment to shine... who are you? Why are
you in business? What makes you different to Joe
Blogs? How long have you been established? Do you
like your job – if so sound like you do!
 Again, think about your audience who is going to read
this?
Please use the remaining space to write a brief outline. The
more you use this space, the fuller your site will look.

Services
What is your product/service?
Do you have more than one?
Do you want prices displayed?
How do you want your services presented? In a table? Are
we using photos & videos in this section to illustrate points?
Links to other sites
People do free!
It’s simple and true. We all like a bargain and we all like
free stuff.
Why not give your potential clients some free information?
Link to charities or websites that have free information like
the DVLA if you are a driving Instructor, or a mill that
produces a special type of flour if you are a baker for
example. Not only does this improve your hits for your site
but it’s a memory trick for your clients, because they will
remember you for the information that you freely gave and
you are providing a service that your competitors aren’t!
Place some links here that are relevant to your business...
but NOT competitors!!
