Logo
The logo represents your brand or company. It is an essential means of identification and communication for any business, because it allows you to stand out from the competition. It is therefore very important to make it appear on your website.
Favicon
Favicons are small square images ,usually 16×16 pixels, used by web browsers to display a graphical representation of the visited site on the left side of the browser’s address bar.
You’ve probably seen many favicons before, even if you don’t know what they are.
Graphical Charter
Essential elements such as your color codes, guidelines for their use, and fonts and their associated files are crucial to creating a visual identity.
At the heart of this identity is the logo, whether symbolic, typographic or mixed. This is present on all of the company’s communication media.
It is from this logo that we build a strong and recognizable visual identity.
Quality Visual Content (Photo or Video)

For example, successful e-stores are essentially based on this observation. It’s the photos or videos that make the design.
The Menu

You should also think about specific menus for some web pages, because you have pages where you want to limit the menu options (for example you don’t need About Us in top menu in all web pages), but instead you want to guide the user to your product or service.
This can is part of the design process, it can be done by web developer, but also by yourself if you are using CMS (content management system) like WordPress or Wix.
