3. Do I have a website?

A live website is required as part of the application process in addition to any social media platforms.

One exception is we may accept your application if your main site is a YouTube channel or TikTok account, but these must have sufficient relevant business content (see the example below). With that being said, if you only include your Instagram, Twitter, or Pinterest link, your application is unlikely to be accepted per our program requirements.

4. Does my website have any quality errors?

If you recently developed a new website or if it’s been a while since you’ve audited your website, we recommend double-checking the following:

Is my website active?

If your website is under construction, we can’t review your content. Therefore, we suggest making any major updates to your website before applying to the program to ensure that we can view your content.

Is there any placeholder text?

Sometimes placeholder text is accidently left behind after creating a new website or using a page template. Be sure to remove any extra placeholder text and elements, as these can be negatively perceived by site visitors.

Does my website have a user-friendly design and interface?

Here’s some quick suggestions:

Embrace white space
Keep your site pages consistent
Use quality and relevant images
Optimize your page speed
Segment key information with bullet points
