Episode: The No Regrets Website Checklist

Before you drop thousands on a new website or spend a weekend styling a template with total uncertainty, listen to this. In this episode, I’m breaking down what really goes into a website that works: one that reflects your brand, supports your goals, and doesn’t need to be redone entirely six months later.

We’re talking:

• Why beautiful placeholders are a real problem
• The "Mise en Place" method for brand and website prep
• What to do before hiring a copywriter or designer
• Brand strategy, voice, and your must-have messaging pieces
• Choosing the right platform (without tech regret)
• The visual assets that make a design click
• A realistic take on content, SEO, integrations, and launch expectations
