Make a Visual Record of your site<\/h2>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Take screen captures of all the main pages of your website &#8211; Home, About, Contact, Services, Blog, Store, etc<\/li>\r\n<li>If you have tons of blog posts or products, take screen captures of at least a few to see the layout and style of those pages<\/li>\r\n<li>Make sure you include categories pages, archive pages, galleries, etc<\/li>\r\n<li>For screen captures: FireShot is a free Chrome Extension that will take a full page screen capture, so you have the whole, full-length page in one image<\/li>\r\n<li>Alternative: Use Loom, Zoom, or a similar tool to record video of your screen as you go through each page of your website<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h2>2. Back up your content and your styling<\/h2>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Copy the text from your website into files and save them, preferably locally and to the cloud<\/li>\r\n<li>Include your home page content, About, Services, and any other main pages<\/li>\r\n<li>Also include your blog posts, product descriptions, etc<\/li>\r\n<li>Include anything you wouldn&#8217;t want to have to type again<\/li>\r\n<li>Make a brand style file and save it<\/li>\r\n<li>Include your brand colors (use the hex codes or rgb values)<\/li>\r\n<li>Include your fonts and any other brand identity information<\/li>\r\n<li>Make sure you save original files for all your graphics or photos<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h2>3.
