Make roles and responsibilities clear.

Understanding roles and responsibilities! This is really important to lay out before you start the project in order to avoid any confusion down the road. Assigning responsibilities and getting your workflow laid out early will keep the project moving and will assure both the client and the developers are working in sync.

Research on your competitors, see what they are doing and how it can be done better. Plan out your sitemap, what images/content you would like for your targeted audience. Establish call-to-actions — what would you want your viewers to do once they are on your site.
