Just as you would not consider starting a road trip to a new destination without a map, you should not consider starting a new or revised website without a plan.
YOUR WEBSITE PLAN
A website plan is a great way to get the most out of your website by first determining:
-
Your Goals
-
Who you hope to attract to visit your site
-
What those viewers will be looking for
-
What you want the website viewers to do once they find your website
-
What websites or other media will be competing with your website
-
What is special about you, your business or organization
-
What features should be included in your website
-
What graphics, color scheme, logos, etc will need to be included
-
How will people find out about your website
-
How can we test your website before making it public
-
What sort of updates will be needed and how frequently
-
Who will be maintaining the website
By neglecting to plan for any of these important elements you could find your project at a dead end and find yourself having to turn around-go back-and start over.
For an example of how a website plan can be structured you may view this sample website plan. You can then view this sample website that shows the results of the sample website plan.
