Design Your Site On Paper First
Before diving into digital tools, grab a sketchpad—sketching your website on paper is a timeless trick top designers swear by. No art skills? No problem. Rough thumbnails still clarify your layout, navigation, and vibe, tailored to your target users. Map out a consistent top-level design, prioritize key info top-left, and keep sidebars and footers simple yet purposeful. Jot down page plans and test color schemes with markers. It’s not about perfection on paper—it’s about sparking a focused, creative start.
