Why do you need a website?
Understanding the purpose for your website is key in
how you will develop it. Always keep in mind, you are promoting yourself, your business, your cause. Your website is one big advertisement!
The main purposes for having a presence on the internet:
1. Information
2. Exposure
3. Sales
4. Credibility
5. Creative Expression (FUN)
6. Communication
What is your competiton doing?
This speaks to credibility. Let's face it, practically every business has a website. Unfortunately, they are not always the best representations both with regards to information and quality. Even if you are putting yourself "out there" for minimal exposure, it is essential that you put forth the best representation possible. Visit other sites.
Who is your audience?
Are you a local business or are you trying to reach a larger audience? Exposure needs to be carefully planned and include search engine submissions, appropriate shared links, and getting a surfers attention immediately. You have to know who your audience is and the "content" of your site needs to focus on this.
What are you really selling?
Whether you are selling a product or service, or disseminating information, your sales approach must reflect your personal mission and your unique style.
Razzle Dazzle and Content:
Equally important are the technical considerations.
Is your site easy to navigate? Is the information logically and clearly presented? There are many whistles and bells that add excitement and flare. They also can be distraction and take a long time to load on a page. BE DISCERNING.
