Steps to think about when building a website.
(I can't stress this enough, but write everything
down, plan, plan, plan.)

Step #1

Ask yourself these questions

  • Why do you want to make a website?

  • What is the purpose or goal of your website?

  • Who do you want to view your website?
               (your target audience)

Examples

  • Personal website for sharing photos and personal information.

  • Business showcasing their products or services.

  • Online Store - selling one product or many.

  • Hobby - Setup information hub for your hobby.


     


Step #2

Plan your content

  • Where are you getting your content from?

  • How are you going to show it on the web?

  • What are you going to sell?

  • Free giveaways?

  • Order Forms & Checkout Carts?

  • Are you going to have ads on your site?
