What is a Website?
A website is an informational site for any project, sometimes referred to as a landing page. It is the central hub for any project on the internet, allowing anyone to access the website by entering the domain name in the browser. Through the website, anyone can read an overview of the project, its services, past work, and additional information, as well as ways to contact the project.
What tools are used for website development?
To create an informational website or a landing page, we can use one of the following tools:
- WordPress

The best tool for designing websites is WordPress, but we can also program the site from scratch in exceptional cases.
What options does the client have for website development?
There are two types of websites that a client can choose from:
- Landing Page: A single page that contains all the information as sections of the page without navigating to different links for each section. (Example: https://go.sikka.sa)

What are the client requirements to start designing and developing their website?
To develop a website for the client, we need the following:
- The logo and brand identity, if available, in an open file format
- A company/project booklet or profile to help us write the page content
- Contact information such as email, mobile number, phone number, and project address
- If the client already owns the domain, we need to link the domain name to our server
- If the client already owns cloud hosting, we will need access credentials to upload the website files to their server
