10 Steps in building your website Part 1
Your web site needs careful planning. It is a good idea to lay it all out on paper first. Take some time to do it. It does not have to be done in one brainstorming session. Write down notes, issues, facts, etc., as you think of them and file all this in one place where you have easy access to it. Decide what it is you wish to accomplish and think of things you could include that will help you achieve this goal. What could you provide on the Internet that would attract the audience you wish to be affiliated with? Do a section layout, if you are going to have more than one section. Think about how your visitors will navigate through your information, and structure your content in a series of logical links including alternate choices.
How will your site be presented? Would you like all the links on the bottom, top, left or right hand side. It would be a good idea to visit competitors sits to see what they have done. If you will be serving the same market, you may wish to provide similar layout and navigation. This means visitors to your site will already be comfortable with the design, and will find it easier to move around and find the information you have provided.
Do some research about hiring developers and take a look at what you would have to learn if you decided to do it yourself. Once again, establish the success of your competitors web sites and try to emulate and incorporate their development ideas and concepts into your own. You don’t have to be overly innovative. It is quite simple really. What is working for them, will work for you.
Develop your content. Whether you choose to do it yourself or hire someone to do it, it is wise to be prepared with the information. Content can include articles, games, software, gifts, promotions, giveaways and anything else you can think of that will attract visitors. The number one question on every visitors mind before they “click on” your site is: “What’s in it for me?”
The amount of content you provide can be based on past marketing practices. You have probably determined how many days a classified ad ran before you received any inquires. If your product(s) is guaranteed to be wanted by your target market, then obviously you will need less content. However, if the benefits are not immediate and you have found that people require more exposure than the initial acknowledgment, then you need to find a way to bring visitors back to your site.
