Six degrees of preparation: Q & A's
for new web site owners
Why will people want to visit my site?
They visit your site to learn, to compare,
to explore, to buy. Your visitors' goals
should govern the design of your web site.
How will visitors find what they're
looking for?
Consistent use of graphics and intuitive
navigation are the key. Provide that and
the rest falls into place.
How will people find my site
among millions of others?
If they don't know your URL, they'll use
a search engine. If their search terms
match your site's "keywords", bingo.
How do we create a site that looks
good to me?
It's not art, it's design. So we set goals,
review others' solutions, and offer alternatives.
We review, revise, decide.
How will I know if people are visiting
my web site?
Your web traffic statistics will tell you:
How many visitors per day? Which pages?
How long do they stay? Such data guides
development.
How tough will it be to keep my site
current?
Modern programming methods simplify upkeep
and ensure consistency with "style sheets".
We can train you or we can do the maintenance.
