Planning your web site
 
 
The iDesign team will help you plan your web site. This is a very important step in the process. A well-planned web site will bring visitors to your site and keep them coming back.
 
 
 
Amazingly, people start building sites without creating a clear statement of what they want that site to achieve. The first step is to always ask these basic questions:
 
 
 
 
Why do you want a web site?
   [more]
 
What do you want the site to do for you?
 
Who is the audience for the site?
   [more]
 
What do you want these visitors to get out of it?
 
 
 
This information is very important to consider when defining your content areas and laying out your site.  If you don't know whom your audience is or what they're coming to do at your site, how can you design anything usable for them?
 
 
 
 
 
One thing to remember when you start planning a web site is that the Internet is a communications tool.  Most of the visitors to your site are coming in search of useful or entertaining information, not to admire fancy graphics or cool multimedia.
