Building a site takes a lot of organization and preparation. That is what I am here for. All you need to do is make an outline of how you want your pages listed and what pictures you want in it (if any) and I will do the rest.
To create an effective web site, there are several points you have to know and understand:
1. Audience:
...
• Who is your audience, how would they come to your site, what
.....
would they be looking for?
... • What would make them return to your site?
...
• What level of technology is your audience likely to have
.....
access to (fast or slow computers, fast or slow modems,
.....
recent or outdated web browsers, high or low quality monitors,
.....
etc.)?
...
• What will the skill level be of your audience (beginner,
.....
intermediate, advanced, or expert)?
...
• How might this audience differ from other audiences you might
.....
want to target (i.e. with other media such as print, radio,
.....
phone, etc.)?
2. Impact:
...
• What overall impression, experience or look and feel do you
.....
hope to convey?
... • Is the web site accessible to all users?
... • Does it use language that is easily understood?
... • Is it an appropriate visual representation of your business?
3. Identity:
...
• Are there certain logos, colors or photos that you want to
.....
include? If there are certain visuals that remind the user of your
.....
business, try to implement them in your site.
4. Content:
...
• What content do you want to make available on your site?
...
• How much of this content can be gathered in digital format?
.....
(this makes is a lot easier on your web designer)
...
• Which content lends itself to on-screen viewing and which
.....
needs to be available in downloadable or printable format?
There is more to creating a web site than you thought, right? Don't fret, I can help you through this stage, too. If you have a topic for a web site, that is a good place to start. I can guide you through this process.
5. Structure:
...
• Will it be important to construct the web site so that content is
.....
presented to different audiences in different ways?
...
• What are the most important elements to keep close to the top
.....
of the site?
...
• What are the navigation concerns? (Simplicity, consistency,
.....
being able to get anywhere from anywhere?)
...
• How might the structure of your web site reflect the structure
.....
your business?
