If you’ve never built a website before, it’s easy to think: “We’ll get the design done, then we’ll add the words later.” Seems logical, right?

When people ask what I do as a web design consultant, I usually say: “I look at websites that are almost there, spot what feels off, and tell you how to fix it.” Sometimes it’s a new website, sometimes it’s a redesign, sometimes it’s a dev team that’s nailed the build but needs design polish …
