A First Editing Sequence for a Design Studio’s Mobile Menu and Pages

A design studio website should show its work while helping visitors find what to do next. Rather than creating many pages at the outset, start with a structure that explains what the studio does, what work visitors can commission, and how to get in touch. The steps below can guide a first edit in TalkTalkMySite.

1. Turn visitor questions into pages

First, write down what visitors need to find out. Common questions include “What kinds of design do you do?”, “Can I see similar projects?”, and “How do I commission a project?” Assign a page to each answer to avoid unnecessary duplication.

**Hypothetical example:** A small studio offering branding and packaging design might begin with Home, Services, Projects, About, and Contact. If it has only one or two services and a small number of case studies, Services and Projects could share a page. Treat the page count as a decision based on available content and ease of browsing, not as a fixed rule.

• [ ] List the three things visitors most need to know.
• [ ] Assign a page to each answer and check whether information would be repeated across pages.
• [ ] Wait to add pages whose content is not ready instead of publishing empty pages.

2. Make the mobile menu short and clear

A phone screen offers limited menu space. Use short, recognizable page names and put frequently needed destinations near the top. For example, “Project Case Studies” might become “Work,” but do not shorten a label so much that its meaning becomes unclear. If contacting the studio is a key action, make it easy to find; adding more menu items is not a substitute for clear emphasis.

Open the mobile menu and confirm that its items appear in the intended order. If you use subitems, make the parent label and the relationship between items easy to understand. If the menu gets long, first consider combining similar content or removing low-priority items.

• [ ] Use consistent wording for menu labels and page titles.
• [ ] Put the highest-priority pages first.
• [ ] Open the menu and tap every item to confirm it leads to the correct page.

3. Give each page a role and one main action

Build each page to answer one primary visitor question. On Home, briefly explain the problems the studio solves and introduce representative work. On Services, describe the scope of the offering and how projects proceed. On Projects, present each project’s purpose, the studio’s role, and the work in a readable order. On Contact, explain the next step for discussing a project.

Set the page title and central message before editing the rest of the copy and its buttons. Use a clear button label such as “Contact us” and link it to the actual contact page. Instead of filling a page with competing calls to action, choose one main action and add only necessary secondary actions.

• [ ] Write one sentence explaining what visitors should learn from each page.
• [ ] For case studies, include context and the studio’s role, not just project names.
• [ ] Test each button to confirm its destination and navigation path.

4. Edit the structure first in TalkTalkMySite

Before editing, review the current pages and menu, then note the changes you need. TalkTalkMySite’s AI chat can help draft copy or suggest a structure, while visual editing lets you refine pages and content directly. Do not accept AI output without review: check it against the studio’s actual services, work, and contact process.

Work in this order: organize the pages, revise menu labels and order, write each page’s title and content, then test button links. Rather than trying to finish everything at once, start with Home and the core Services page, then add case studies and studio information. This makes it easier to manage revisions. You can search licensed stock images and videos for design use; check how they are presented so visitors do not mistake stock media for the studio’s own work. Six OFL Korean fonts are available, and live previews let you compare how they look.

• [ ] Before changing anything, note page names, menu order, and button destinations.
• [ ] Verify that AI-generated copy accurately describes the studio and its services.
• [ ] Check that fonts and stock media fit the content and intended tone.

5. Preview on mobile and check before publishing

In the preview, open and close the menu and check that page titles and copy read naturally. Long menu labels or overly long sentences can be difficult to scan on a small screen. Tap the primary buttons and check links from project pages to other destinations. Before publishing, remove empty pages, duplicate menu items, and copy that is not ready.

SEO features vary by plan. Basic supports shared SEO; Standard supports per-page SEO and stores; Premium supports multilingual stores. Adding SEO information does not guarantee search rankings or traffic. HEAD meta tags work on published sites, but custom scripts run only on connected customer domains. Editing a menu or page does not by itself require you to configure either one, so check these options only if they are relevant to your needs.

• [ ] On a phone-sized screen, check the menu, headings, copy, and buttons in order.
• [ ] Tap every menu item and primary button to verify its destination.
• [ ] Reopen the published site and confirm that the public version has the structure you intended.

**Next action:** Today, write down the three questions visitors are most likely to ask, then decide which page answers each one and in what order those pages should appear in the mobile menu. Use that outline to edit Home and Services first.
