There are several things to consider when initially designing a web site and generally they are :-

Layout

Do you already have an idea of what you want your site to look like? Do you have any favourite sites? What about those particular sites appeals to you? Do you have a current brand or logo? Will you need a logo or brand? Will you need a banner and button links to your site that will need to be created in the initial design of your web site? Do you have an idea of which colours you want to use for the backgrounds, border, buttons, links and text?

If your site is easy to navigate, then visitors will stay longer and are more likely to return again to your site. A uniform look across pages helps visitors to feel comfortable. Will your site have a lot of graphics or will it be an informative text site? How do you want to display your products/services?

Aim

What do you want your web site to do for you? Is your aim to have an e-commerce site? Will you sell products online? Will the site be promoting a service? What demographic of visitors do you hope to attract(your 'target audience')? Are you looking to advertise?

Selling

Will your site sell anything? Do you already have a merchant account? Would you like to set up an online international merchant account to accept credit cards and e-cheques? How will you accept order payments for your online products? Will you need a 'shopping cart'? What sales and government taxes apply? Do you need to ship orders to customers? What is your policy on returns, faults and damages? What guarantee can you give your customers regarding the goods they are ordering? To accept credit cards you need access to a 128bit security setup online, do you currently have access to this high level of security for your customers?

Content

What are you going to say? What do people want to hear? Do you want an interactive site? Do you want music/sound? Do you need a mailing list to inform visitors of changes to your site? Will you be updating your site content or aspects of it on a regular basis? Do you want a Guest Book? Do you want a Message Board? How will you encourage visitors to return to your site? Competitions and/or freebies are a good way to attract return customers to your site.

Links                                                                                 

Links to other sites are great for getting your site listed in the Top 10 search engines and directories. The more "hits" or "visitors" to your site, the more prominent your web site will be in a customers search of the World Wide Web. You can not link to ANY other site without that sites permission. Do you want a separate page for your links? Do you want the links shown at the bottom of your page? Other sites may wish to link to you. Do you want to offer a free banner or button link for them to display on their page?

Promoting Your Site

You will have to consider advertising. Whether it is banner advertising or another form of advertising online. An online business is just the same as any other business. You need to get out there and promote your site. Newspaper advertising in your local area may be necessary to get things moving. You will need business cards and other promotional material. One of the beneficial aspects to the Internet is that news travels fast - really fast! So how will you promote your site? Do you already have an audience or will you need to create one by relying on advertising and search engine submissions?

Feedback     

One of the most important qualities in a site is feedback. You need to provide responses to visitors and clients comments. You need to provide this response no later than 48 hours after a submission. An email acknowledgment is re-assuring to visitors, especially if you can't respond straight away, whether it's a technical question or a huge corporate client. You also need to treat all inquiries with courtesy and expedience. If you
will not be able to address all incoming orders and mail, Reall Solutions can help you out as part of our maintenance fees.
