You need to determine why "you want the
web site."
- Is it for e-commerce?
- Is it for additional
advertising?
- Or Is it because you need one for your
corporate image?
- Or is the web site for more
personal reasons?
Most web developers begin with asking you these
questions.
What is your content?
Business based, and formal and/or individual and
informal?
Where is your present web presence?
Do you have one? If not how soon is the project to
be started and finished, what is the deadline?
How do you want your content
to be formatted?
Professional, mid-range, or more low-key, what is
your idea of the image that you want to portray?
This is a very important aspect of the web development phase and does
require careful thought and planning. Planning time spent at this
stage will greatly reduce later corrections, and reduce rework costs.
Who are the users that you are
targeting?
- What are your users needs and desires?
- Why would someone want to visit your web site and
what valuable information would they gain? What is the "key"
that you are going to have in your web site to have users "bookmark"
your site?
- Why would they want to come back, and how are you
going to keep them coming back?
What is the "scope" of your
web site?
Informational only, or to include all the bells and
whistles and "e-commerce"?
- What additional requirements do you have?
- Are you going to need web statistics as to number
of visitors, daily, weekly, or monthly?
- Is there any specific problems or work-a rounds
that may be needed due to linking databases with forms?
- What additional information are you going to need
to really get results from your web site?
These are all valid concerns and should be addressed prior
to working on the design development of the web site.
After all the above, and any other requirements and
considerations which may be specific to the particular individual's web
site are gathered, the developer can create a list of expected results
from the creation and implementation of the web site. Now the web
developer has a clear idea of the wants, needs and the requirements
needed for the web site. Planning is extremely important to do the best
possible job , which will minimize time loss and save you money.
If you are a business or an individual looking for
a way to expand and complement your business with a "web presence", be
assured, that the Internet is the wave of our future.
There is no denying what e-commerce is doing for many
businesses, it is making them known to the web surfing community and
improving their business image. As a company is growing and doing
innovative advertising and marketing, ultimately your business will tap
a new profit area, via e-commerce.
