Planning
Step 2 is the most important step
Planning your website
Planning your website's structure and navigation to meet your purpose and goals is one the most important steps in creating a successful online business. If done with vision and foresight, it will save you considerable time and money down the road. We will work together to answer such questions as...
- What's the purpose and goals for your website?
- What's the scope of the project?
- Who's your online target audience?
- Who's your online competition?
- How will the site be structured and how many pages do you anticipated?
- What kind of first impression do you want your internet visitors to have?
- Who will provide the photos and text and is it in digital format?
- Will you need any special interactive features? (e-commerce, newsletter, forms, membership, etc.)
- Will you need a corporate identity and logo designed?
- What are your deadlines?
- What are your maintenance needs (how often do you plan on updating your site's content)?
The answers to these questions will be our guide throughout the website design and construction process. After the scope of the project is determined, I will then be able to provide you with a more accurate quote for implementing your plan.
Once we have a sound marketing plan, the next step is the design or redesign of your website.
