10 Steps to Planning Your Web Site Project
Step 5
You've now collated your existing material and there may be some additional content required which you've not yet written.
Within your launch timescale agreed with your web designer, you need to realistically decide what you can achieve and if necessary, break the project down into Phase 1, 2 and beyond.
A web site should always be viewed as a Work in Progress and early planning of how you want your framework to develop will help you to build a sturdy platform at the outset. Your web design partner should be able to help you with this.
Step 6
With your web design partner, draw up your framework or web map and consider any phased requirements that you came across in Step 5.
Your web map, matched with your content material will allow the web designer to develop a few home page concepts for you to consider.
These should strongly reflect your corporate identity and should have room for expansion for future updates.
Step 7
You've agreed content and now the style, so it's time to let your design partner proceed with construction.
You should expect regular progress reports and it's a good idea to ask the designer to work up one section of the site for you. This gives you the opportunity to test how the navigation works and to see if you like the overall style of the site.
