Do You Need a Web Site Plan
You betcha!
A web site plan is essential not only just to manage the building of your site, but to ensure it will be an asset for your business. Without a plan there is absolutely no guarantee where you will end up
WHEN should you do your plan?
Right at the beginning. BEFORE you do anything else.
Most people create a web site first and then start figuring out how it fits into their business. They think of a website as a ‘stand alone’ item – but it is anything but. You would not go and buy a car without having a plan – even if it is in your head. You would know how many seats, general type of vehicle (2 door, 4 door, hatch, station wagon…) and you would have made that plan according to YOUR needs.
Buying/building a website is no different. Your website sits between you and your potential customers. It must fit both your needs and their needs to be successful. Whoever said ‘Build it and they will come’ was not talking about websites!
WHY should YOU do your plan?
What’s the benefit?
If you don’t have a plan up front I GUARANTEE you will be changing your web site within weeks if not days. You will think of new and different things and more than likely you and your web builder will have stopped talking to each other…..
Your web site needs to WORK for YOU, so YOU have to be a big part of the planning.
