Website Creation
- Focus
A website may be pitched at any of several functional levels.
It could be a simple statement of the business service that you
provide, with basic contact details. It could be a comprehensive
description of your business, with detailed definition of all your
products and services, and communication support for basic
interaction with clients. It could be a fully operational business
mechanism, through which all your business activities - marketing,
orders, deliveries, payments and customer support - are transacted.
You must decide which functions the website is to perform, with the
consequent complexity of design and requirement for investment of
time and money. You may make the decision on the basis of an
immediate, clear, affordable requirement. You may find that
financial constraints limit the scope of your website, but you can
still implement an effective basic site. You may even develop a
strategy for implementing the website in discrete phases, only
proceeding to the next stage when the effectiveness of the current
stage has been fully evaluated. Additionally at this juncture you
should decide on a domain name for your website, and select a web
hosting service package. I can assist you in making these
judgements, but the final decision must be yours. |
