Prepare for a seamless web design experience with Pretty Grls Design by ensuring you have the essentials ready! From securing your unique domain name to setting up a custom-branded email, this quick checklist will guide you through the foundational steps needed to bring your vision to life. Get ready to make a strong first impression with a polished, professional online presence.
To start a web design service with Pretty Grls Design, clients should first secure their Domain Information. Ideally, clients will have a registered domain name or some preferred name ideas. If a domain hasn’t been purchased yet, they can explore platforms like GoDaddy to secure one, ensuring the domain reflects their brand, such as "www.mybrand.com."
Additionally, a Custom Branded Email is required for marketing and professionalism. Instead of using a general email like "mybrand@gmail.com," a custom address such as "contact@mybrand.com" is preferred. You can search for available domains and email extensions at websites like GoDaddy.
For sending out marketing emails, you will also need a business address (not a P.O. Box). If you don’t already have one, you can purchase a business address from iPostal1.
