So you need a website? Here are a few things you will need to think about before we get started:
- New or Updated site
Do you need a new website?
Or does your current website need a small (or large) overhaul?
- Size and scope of your website
- one page
- 3 to 5 pages
- brochure site or regularly updated information site
- simple shopping cart
- full e-commerce shopping site
- Web Content
Do you have your web content ready to go or will you need us to help you get this ready?
Have you written your copy and gathered your images?
- Site Navigation
Have you done a plan of the heirarchy of sections and sub-sections?
Have you thought about how your users will use your site and the flow of information?
- Your Business Name and Identity
Have you registered your business name and signed up for an ABN?
Do you have a logo, colours and so on for your business or will you need us to develop this for you first?
- Domain Name and Web Hosting
Do you have a domain name registered? Do you need help and advice with this?
Do you have a web host organised or do you want us to set this up for you?
- Web 2.0 and Social Networking
Do you need a blog?
Do you want us to set up a Facebook and/or Twitter account?
Do you need us to demistify social networking for you so that you can decide if your business could benefit from these?
- Elements of your site
Will you need a photo gallery?
Calendar or booking system?
Contact or other online forms?
Public Forum?
Client or private area?
- Web Site Maintenance
Do you want us to maintain your site on an on-going basis?
Would you rather have some training to update it yourself?
Do you want to do basic maintenance only and leave the more involved work to us?
Will there be one person or many in your organisation who will need to update the website?
Don’t be scared off by the list above. If you think about these things now, before we begin, then the whole thing will go so much more smoothly and you will end up with something that really works. We can advise you and help you to work out exactly what you need. We’ve been building websites for many years, and together we can both get a very clear picture of what you want.
