Ready
Congratulations on your getting started with your website project. In this area, we will give some helpful information on what you can do to get ready for your website project.
The initial planning steps need to answer questions like:
- Who is the target audience?
- What information would visitors most often want?
- What website features would assist visitors in finding their interests?
You can also look at what resources you have to share, and categorize this content:
- What resources could be shared? (calendars, documents, forms, etc.)
- What website features would best assist your visitors to access these resources?
Then you have general design considerations:
- What design would be easy on the eye?
- Can the site be made easy to understand?
- Will the site be easy to maintain?
Keep in mind the general rule: The simpler it is, the more effective it will be.
You may see any number of websites with fancy moving graphics, complex links and shouting text, but ask yourself, will that really help you present yourself to your visitors?
