What do I need to create a website for my business?

You need a few basics before anything gets built: a domain name, some photos or a logo if you have one, a rough list of your services or products, and a short description of what your business does.

You don't need finished copy, a design in mind, or a big content plan. Most of that gets figured out during the build itself, not before it starts. The main thing worth having ready is your basic contact information, phone, email, address, since that's what turns a visitor into a call.
