That\u2019s why we\u2019ve created a website design checklist. Following these simple steps will help ensure <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jimdo.com\/website\/how-to-create\/\">your website<\/a> is clear, easy to navigate, looks professional, and communicates your mission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So before you hit publish, make sure you\u2019ve considered the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Designing your site plan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Anatomy basics<\/strong>: Every page on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jimdo.com\/website\/how-to-create\/\">your website<\/a> should include the most important structural elements: a header, body, footer, and hero image. Our detailed breakdown of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jimdo.com\/blog\/website-parts\/\">website parts and terminology<\/a> explains the most important web design features and buzzwords.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A simple navigation menu<\/strong>: Imagine this as the map and compass for your website. It should include your most important, or top-level, pages: think \u201cContact\u201d or \u201cAbout\u201d. It\u2019s best to keep it clear and concise (5-7 pages), so visitors can easily find what they\u2019re looking for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Group your subpages:<\/strong> If you need additional, more specialized pages, you can group them as subpages under a few important top-level pages. This helps keep your design simple to navigate.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"jimdo-alert\"> Tip: Don\u2019t forget to use links! These make it easier for visitors to access the information they need and navigate your website.<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Creating a unique website design<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Create a logo<\/strong>: A unique <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jimdo.com\/website\/logo-creator\/\">logo<\/a> represents your brand. It helps visitors immediately recognize you. It should compliment the style and theme of your website. Make sure it\u2019s high resolution and, if necessary, has a transparent background so it doesn\u2019t clash with other colors. With our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jimdo.com\/website\/logo-creator\/\">Logo Creator<\/a>, you can make one for free!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns are-vertically-aligned-center post-cta has-white-background-color has-background is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-0111f410 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\" style=\"padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50)\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Design a logo that makes your business stand out.<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-content-justification-right is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-17124a9a wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a data-tracking=\"post_cta_logo_tool\" class=\"wp-block-button__link\" href=\"https:\/\/logo.e.jimdo.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Design yours now<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pick a background and texture<\/strong>: A website\u2019s background is like its wallpaper, and helps create a unique look. If you\u2019re using an image in the background, make sure it\u2019s high quality and that you\u2019ve got the rights to use it. You can also download a pattern instead of a photo. Here are our top tips for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jimdo.com\/blog\/choose-images-website\/\">choosing the best images for your website<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Set your colors and theme<\/strong>: Consistent colors throughout your website give it a branded, professional look. If you\u2019re a web design beginner, it\u2019s best to keep things simple. Often, black, white and grey can do the trick, with small bits of brand color added in for variety. These simple changes are the first steps toward <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jimdo.com\/blog\/tutorial-customized-website\/\">customizing your own website design<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Add personality with icons<\/strong>: Icons can add some visual excitement to otherwise plain website features and buttons. There are plenty of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jimdo.com\/blog\/use-free-website-icons\/\">free resources for icons<\/a> out there, just make sure they match your color scheme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The keys to good website content<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Clear and concise content<\/strong>: The text on your website is also part of your design. Choose a font that\u2019s easy to read, and break your text into shorter paragraphs that are easier to read. For a more detailed breakdown, we\u2019ve compiled <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jimdo.com\/blog\/11-golden-rules-of-writing-website-content\/\">The 11 Golden Rules of Writing Content for Your Website<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Make your mission statement stand out:<\/strong> Users should know exactly what your site is about when they first land on it. Every part of your website should have a clear intention that supports your mission. Including calls to action, or CTAs, can inspire users to share in the values and goals your website represents. See our tips to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jimdo.com\/blog\/create-better-calls-to-action\/\">create better CTAs<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Keywords and SEO:<\/strong> Keywords help search engines find your website and its content. This is known as Search Engine Optimization. Also make sure any images you use have an \u201calt-text\u201d &#8211; this tells search engines what the images are about. Learn more in our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jimdo.com\/blog\/seo-basics\/\">Beginner\u2019s Guide to SEO<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Legal disclaimer<\/strong>: For many websites, it\u2019s important to be compliant with privacy and data protection requirements. That\u2019s particularly true in the EU, which is why Jimdo offers a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jimdo.com\/addon\/legal-text-generator\/\">Legal Text Generator<\/a> to ease the stress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"jimdo-alert\">Remember: Almost every website will need updating eventually. Don\u2019t worry about it being \u201cdone\u201d. Start with the basics and make changes over time as you learn what works for you and your audience.<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Want to know more?
