Before Building a Website Checklist

Good planning is essential and should come before everything else if you want to avoid time-consuming and costly mistakes
Research
The right research conducted early on in the process will help minimize major u-turns or rewrites down the line
Naming and Legal
Don't overlook these important aspects as they can have a massive impact going forward
