Start on a whiteboard, not with code or design.
- Define the purpose of the website.
 - Define clear, measurable goals.
 - Define User Actions.
 - Define Key Performance Indicators. (How will you measure success?)
 



Use a Content Management System.
- WordPress powers 27% of all websites.
 - It scales.
 - It's secure.
 - It's easy to use.
 



Mobile matters.
- ~50% traffic is from mobile devices.
 - Mobile-friendly at a minimum.
 - Mobile-first is ideal.
 



Think like a user (as best you can)
- Simple, Obvious, Convenient.
 - Less is more.
 



Make data-driven decisions.
- Track user behavior.
 - Google Analytics w/ Goals.
 - A/B Testing.
 



Tell me what to do.
- Calls to Action.
 - One (main) per page.
 - Don't assume, lead.

Do it now.
- Avoid "analysis paralysis."
 - Something is better than nothing.
 - Launch a teaser site before the full site.
 



Iteratively Improve.
- Review analytics data.
 - Gather user feedback.
 - New idea? A/B test it.
 





Better websites through teamwork.
