🧱 Day 3: Plan Your Website Content

Once you’ve defined your purpose and goal, it’s time to decide what your website will say and include. This step is often skipped — but a well-planned structure saves you time, reduces confusion, and helps your visitors take the right action.

Think of your website like a conversation. If someone lands on it, what do you want them to learn, feel, and do?

📌 Day 3 Summary

Today, you have: ✔️ Identified your core website pages
✔️ Outlined what content belongs on each one
✔️ Drafted a clear, benefit-focused homepage headline

This plan will guide your site-building process — and keep everything focused and user-friendly.



📄 Core Pages Every Website Should Include

You don’t need a 20-page website to get results. In fact, keeping things simple is often more effective. Below are the most common and useful pages for a small business or service-based website:

Optional pages might include:

  • Portfolio / Work examples

  • Testimonials

  • Blog

  • FAQ

  • Booking or scheduling page


✏️ Website Content Planning Tips

  • Speak to Your Audience’s Needs – Don’t just list features. Focus on how your offer helps solve problems or create benefits.

  • Keep It Conversational – Write like a human talking to another human.

  • Use Clear Headings and Short Paragraphs – This helps visitors scan quickly.

  • Have a Call-to-Action on Every Page – What should your visitor do next? (Contact you? Buy now? Subscribe?)


✍️ Exercise: Draft Your Simple Site Map

List the 3–5 core pages your site will have.

Example:

My website will have the following pages:

  1. Home

  2. About Me

  3. Services

  4. Contact

  5. Thank You (after someone submits a form)

Now, outline 2–3 bullet points under each page. What key messages or actions do you want each page to cover?


🧠 Exercise: Write Your Homepage Headline

Your homepage headline should explain what you do and who it’s for in one clear sentence.

Template:

“I help [target audience] get [result] without [common frustration].”

Examples:

  • “I help small businesses launch websites quickly without tech headaches.”

  • “Simple, beautiful websites for independent artists and creators.”

“Build it and they will come.”

– Only if you also run ads, post it on socials, and scream about it on TikTok.
