Preparing your site content for submission
Preparing your content for your new or redesigned site can be one of the frustrating parts of a web design and development project. We have a process in place for taking a great brief, writing proposals, design, UX, development and delivery. Final content should ready to go before we start design to prevent any trouble.
We don't want to receive such messages:
We are still working on it, but don’t let that hold you up. Can you send over the design first and we’ll add the real content later?
or
Just use placeholder text for now — we’ll have it by the time the site needs to go live.
In order to prevent unexpected surprises such as giving a quote for a page with a form and end up being sent 15 pages of content that has to be wrangled, we expect to finalize the initial steps.
How to Prepare Site Content?
We start with a sitemap in discovery phase to let you outline how a site's content will be layered, organized and navigated.
You are responsible to send proper content before we get started.
Here is the specifications for content that you will send:
All texts in Word or Excel (as unformatted text)
All images is equal or greater than 1920x1080 or 1080x1920 (unlike otherwise is specified). Image files in .PNG format take much storage and cause performance issues. In case you have access to, try to send .JPG or .WEBP files for images. For icons, the correct file format is .SVG.
Your brand kit as a separate folder (if you send only logos they should be in .SVG format)
Why our work rely on specific file sizes and formats?
In order to optimize the page quality and performance at the same time, we have to use files in correct format in proper places.
PNG files: High quality format with high size
JPG/WEBP: Less quality format with less size
SVG: High quality vectors with less size (no quality loss upon resizing on page)
Also, we generally use horizontal media files during website design so the resolution of the images should be in horizontal sizes like 1920x1080.
For sections with texts placed on an image, the images should have a focal point on it to prevent any readability issues.
How to folder all content?
Basis on the sitemap generated on discovery phase, create a folder on your computer. Here is you can find a sample file structure:
How to deliver all content?
You will send your content through WeTransfer. It is a free tool used to transfer documents through a secured network. We do not accept email transfers directly since you are not a part of our business workspace. Email which the content from WeTransfer will be submitted to: info@bizimuhit.com
