The Ultimate Website Prep Checklist
A guided checklist built to prepare both DIY template users and those ready for a custom website build with a designer.
Stop guessing. Start building with clarity.
Whether you’re DIY’ing a Showit template or planning to work with a designer, the truth is: your website comes together so much faster when you know exactly what you need before you sit down to build.
This checklist helps you:
- Get organized with the photos, copy, and brand elements your site needs
- Avoid overwhelm by breaking everything into simple, doable steps
- Save hours of back-and-forth decisions during the design phase
- Move confidently into your template build or custom project
- Know what to prep + what can wait so you stop overthinking and start creating
It’s the same foundation I use to kick off my client projects, now in a super easy-to-follow version you can use on your own.
Here’s what you’ll walk away with:
A roadmap that keeps you on track. No more “where do I even start?” moments. You’ll know exactly what to do next.
Smart tips that make website building actually feel doable.
Think: what order to tackle things in, what matters most, and what not to stress about.
Guidance for both paths: DIY or custom. No matter how you’re building — template, customization, or full custom — this checklist supports you.
A clear list of everything to prep for your website. Photos, copy, branding elements, tech pieces… all spelled out so nothing gets missed.
Confidence and momentum. Because when everything’s laid out, the whole process feels lighter, easier, and way more fun.
