Before You Build Your Website
You have realized that your business or organization needs a website...so where do you start?
The first thing you should do before you build a website is ask yourself these questions.
- What is the purpose of my website?
- Who is my target audience?
- What content should be on my website?
- What is my competition doing?
- Do I really have the time to do this myself or should I hire a professional website designer?
Purpose
Is your site going to be mostly informational or are you going to want to sell your products or services online?
Target Audience
Who do you want to attract to your website? Define your target audience and that will determine the design of your website.
Content
Once you have identified the purpose of your website and defined your target audience, then it will be much easier to figure out what content should be on your site.
Competition
Chances are you are not the only one doing whatever it is you're doing, so take a look at the websites that relate to yours and see what they are doing. Make a list of the features you like and dislike about their sites and use that as a guide when designing your own.
Hire a Professional Website Designer
Having a professional website designer do the work for you is money well spent! Do you really have the time to devote to designing and maintaining a website? Wouldn't it be better for you to concentrate on the day to day activities of running your business or organization?
Answer the above questions then do yourself a favor and hire a professional website designer to do the work for you. The answers to the above questions will help guide the designer as your website is developed.
