A crash course
in thinking
Responsively
Contrary to popular belief,
And very soon:
So how do we design for such a wide variety
of devices, situations, contexts and scenarios that
our customers could be in at any given time,
now and in the future?
Good question!
-
We must create great content for our customers
- Make that content accessible to everyone: regular people, computers, screen readers, people with disabilities (blind, deaf, low vision, color blind, ADHD, autistic, elderly, young)
- Let customers focus on specific tasks (like learning about our products first, then moving right on to purchasing them)
- Don't distract them, or prevent them from accomplishing a task (by putting too much on screen at once, or having things move unexpectedly and shifting attention)
- Help guide them to completing tasks correctly, in a short time, and with little to no frustration
- Make sure customers remain in control of the interface that we provide them (clearly labeled, easy-to-click buttons; only change something once they triggered that change, not automatically)
Getting back to the task at hand:

Moving forward with development
You hired me to design a website for you, but that will be a later phase.
-
First we need to get laser-focused content
- Next we need to build a wireframe of the website, with only our content in place (no imposed design yet) to make sure it is strong enough to stand on it's own, devoid of any styling
- Then we can focus on how best to present our amazing content to customers of varying device size, ability, or attention span
Working this way will help us build an accessible website that will effortlessly guide our customers through the buying process again and again.
Everyone wins, every time.

Below is a link to a new Google Doc with content that I extracted from your mock-ups. Some has been slightly re-written into shorter, concise and rich chunks of more readable content.
