Steps before beginning to design your Carrd website:
1) Download your free Website Starter Kit to accompany the advice in this video.
2) Website myths:
a) Your website doesn't need to cost the earth;
b) It doesn't have to be perfect first time: it can and should evolve;
c) Your friend's technology recommendation may not be the best choice for you.
3) Think strategically about the main purpose of your website. This will depend on your stage of business, whether you are ready to sell a product/service, or whether you would like to establish credibility and build your audience.
4) Pick 3-4 pages to create, especially if this is your first website.
5) For every page, decide the key Call To Action that you will highlight.
