FAQ

Questions about the checklist.

Is the checklist really free?

Yes. Leave your email and it arrives in your inbox straight away. No payment and no sales call.

Does it work for Wix, Squarespace or Shopify?

Yes. A few items mention WordPress by name, but almost everything applies to any website, whichever builder you use. Still choosing one? See the best website builder for beginners.

How often will you email me?

Rarely: only when I have something useful to share about websites that bring in work. Every email lets you unsubscribe in one click.

Can you check my website for me instead?

Yes. If you’d rather have a website built with all of this taken care of, book a short call. I design and build websites from €2,000.
