Welcome to your homepage content workbook
Homepage content design is a challenge. As the ‘shop window’ for your brand, the homepage of your website will always come in for a lot of scrutiny. Your stakeholders all want their ‘thing’ to be on there. It might be the only page of the website that some senior leaders ever look at. And that’s before we even start talking about user needs. If you’re a small business or a solo entrepreneur, the pressure to get it right can feel huge.
The idea behind this workbook is to give you a method to make your homepage content design process more structured. Inside, you’ll find:
- A library of different content elements
- A worksheet to help you choose which elements to use
- A worksheet to put them into priority order
It won’t give you wireframes or wording, but it will give you a clear plan for what content you need, in what order, and why.

If your question is about something specific to your homepage rather than about the toolkit I will try to help, but it depends on the complexity.
