Purpose::

Before you optimise, every standard is present on every public page.

Rules::

  • The standards = your design guide (for example Design like Google); check, don't redesign
  • Missing standard: add it the smallest way; the design stays
  • The production build is the test

Inventory::

  • Your design guide and the list of public pages
  • A headless browser for desktop (1440x900) and mobile (390x844) screenshots

Steps::

  1. 1Turn the guide's rules and metrics into one checklist
  2. 2Screenshot every public page, desktop and mobile; check each item
  3. 3Add what is missing
  4. 4Deploy; screenshot again and recheck
  5. 5Reply: the checklist with ✅ or ❌ per page

Metrics::

  • Every standard is present on every page
  • Pages look the same apart from what was missing

  1. 1. Think of 3 famous products that sell something close to your idea
  2. 2. Open each; note how the home page puts the main action first
  3. 3. Keep the one with the clearest, most detailed home

Steps::

  1. 1. Read the project's purpose
  2. 2. Read what you are about and what you have
  3. 3. Find the overlap: what you already have that this project can offer
  4. 4. Write: we have <X> (evidence), so <project> offers <Y> to <buyer>

Prove the fit in one sentence

Say why this project is a perfect fit for you, with evidence of what you already have.

Website.md

Purpose:: Build the perfect alternative to your direct competitors: their best parts plus what visitors in this space are used to.

  2. 2. List what they all share (traditional) and the best part of each
  3. 3. Build the header, footer and home, then the other public pages from that list
  4. 4. Deploy; screenshot desktop and mobile; compare with the competitor screenshots; fix
