Questions to Answer
Before You Start 5 What is the purpose of your website & how complex should it be? Is the main purpose of your website: marketing, commerce or community? Who is your target market & how will they use your website? What do you want the website to do? Will this be a “static” site, or do you want Web 2.0 interactivity? Do you want to integrate e-mail and other lead gen marketing into your website? How often will you update your website? Who will host & technically support the website? How much help do you need to develop your website? Are you computer savvy enough to feel comfortable with online design templates? Will you read the manual & call tech services if you get stuck installing a shopping cart? How much time do you have to devote to this project? Do you have the time and talent to write your own content copy? Which web design options should you consider? 1. Do-It-Yourself 2. Get Some Help 3.
