The Website Standard

The foundation every business website needs to perform. A practical framework for business owners who are tired of websites that look good but don't convert — and agencies who want to stop arguing about opinions and start delivering systems.

No spam. You'll be the first to know when the book launches.

Most business websites fail. Not because of bad design.

Because there was never a foundation. No clear messaging. No engineered structure. No system behind the surface.

The result is always the same: money spent, traffic wasted, leads lost. It doesn't matter if the budget was two thousand or two hundred thousand. The scale changes. The mistake does not.

Seven pillars. Nine chapters. One standard.

The Website Standard is built on seven structural pillars that every business website must meet to perform. Each chapter follows the same format: what goes wrong, why it matters, what good looks like, and a binary checklist to audit it yourself.

Pillar 1 Positioning & Messaging
Pillar 2 Site Structure
Pillar 3 URL Architecture
Pillar 4 Content Hierarchy
Pillar 5 Page Composition
Pillar 6 Design & Responsiveness
Pillar 7 Technical Fundamentals

For the people who build websites — and the people who pay for them.

Business Owners

You'll understand exactly what your website needs to do. Stop guessing, stop relying on blind trust, and start making informed decisions about the most important digital asset your business owns.

Agency Owners

You get a defensible standard. A way to remove subjective discussions from the build process and replace them with something you can measure, build against, and defend to any client.

Corné van Willigen

Nearly twenty years of building websites — as a business owner, as an agency owner, and as someone who's hired agencies across different ventures. Every side of the table. Every version of the same problem. This book is the result of that experience: a framework built on what actually works, not what looks good in a pitch deck.

Stop building brochures.
Start building systems.

The Website Standard is launching soon. Join the waiting list and be the first to get it.

No spam. Just the launch notification.
