At Binge Island, we build and revamp websites that not only look great but also deliver value to your audience. To achieve this, we need the right content from you before we start development. Here’s a breakdown of the key content you should provide to ensure a smooth website build.
Written Content
High-quality written content is essential for engaging visitors and improving your website’s search rankings. Here’s what you should provide:
- Homepage Text – A clear and compelling introduction to your brand, products, or services.
- About Us Page – A brief history of your company, your mission, and what sets you apart.
- Services or Product Descriptions – Detailed information about what you offer, including pricing if applicable.
- Contact Page Information – Business address, phone number, email, and social media links (if any).
- Blog Posts or Articles (if applicable) – Any content you want to feature on your site’s blog.
- FAQs – Answers to common customer questions.
If you need help writing content, we can provide recommendations or direct you to professional copywriters.
Images & Graphics
Visual content plays a major role in making your website attractive and engaging. You should provide:
- Logo – A high-resolution version of your logo (preferably in PNG, SVG, or AI format).
- Product or Service Images – High-quality photos of your offerings.
- Team Photos – If you want to feature your team members on an “About Us” page.
- Banners or Backgrounds – Any branding elements or graphics you’d like to include.
- Stock Photos – If you don’t have custom images, we can help source royalty-free stock images.
Note: All images should be high-resolution to ensure they look great on all devices.
Branding Guidelines
If you have existing brand guidelines, share them with us to maintain consistency across your website. This may include:
- Brand colours (HEX or RGB codes).
- Typography (preferred fonts and styles).
- Tone & voice (formal, friendly, technical, etc.).
If you don’t have branding guidelines, we can help create a visual style that aligns with your business.
Videos & Other Media (If Applicable)
If your website includes videos, downloadable files, or other media, please provide:
- Introductory or promotional videos.
- Tutorials or explainer videos.
- PDFs or brochures for download.
We’ll make sure these media elements are optimised for fast loading times.
Login Credentials & Integrations
If your website needs third-party integrations, we’ll need access to relevant accounts, such as:
- Domain & Hosting Access – Login details for where your website is currently hosted (if applicable).
- Email Marketing Tools – If you use MailChimp, ConvertKit, or another service for newsletters.
- Payment Gateways – Stripe or other payment platforms for eCommerce sites.
- Social Media Links – Links to your business social media accounts.
If you’re unsure about any of this, we can guide you through the process.
Special Features or Custom Functionality
If you need custom features like booking forms, memberships, or eCommerce functionalities, let us know upfront so we can plan accordingly.
How to Submit Your Content
You can send your content via:
- Google Drive or Dropbox – For large files and organised folders.
- Email – If files are small enough.
- Shared Documents – For text content, using Google Docs or Microsoft Word.
