Develop a strong brand identity<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>A strong brand identity and detailed brand guide are the most valuable assets a company can have when designing a new website. As the owner of a boutique branding agency, it&#8217;s the very first thing I ask for when we get an inquiry asking for website design.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Designing a brand identity first gives you (or your web designer) the blueprints to what the website should look like. Without it, everyone is just designing blindfolded.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Save yourself or anyone you hire some serious frustration by starting with a solid brand foundation. Having a logo doesn&#8217;t count either!<\/p>\n<p><em>Rani Sweis, <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/atticsalt.co\/\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" rel=\"nofollow external noopener\"><em>AtticSalt<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Use_a_good_content_management_system_CMS\"><\/span>2.

Selecting a reputable CMS system like WordPress offers tools to help you create, edit and publish web content even without advanced coding knowledge. A well-documented CMS can be a very beneficial resource for small business owners in designing and building their websites, especially if they have no prior web development experience.<\/p>\n<p><em>Paw Vej, <\/em><a href=\"http:\/\/financer.com\/\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" rel=\"nofollow external noopener\"><em>Financer.com Ldt<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>Related: <\/em><em>What is a content management system?<\/em><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Research_websites_for_inspiration\"><\/span>3.

Get a pre-built website<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Getting a pre-built website is not only a cheaper and easier option, but it is the digital equivalent of buying an instant cake mix.<\/p>\n<p>With an instant cake mix, your cake tastes the same but you don&#8217;t have to go through all the effort of weighing out your flour and eggs from scratch.

Use heat maps to determine user experience (UX)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Understanding your intended UX is critical when designing a website.
