Steps to getting your website:
Getting Started
This is perhaps the most important question of them all: what do you need your website to do? Take time to think about what you need to able to achieve via your website and construct a list of "must" and "maybe" points.
Is it a personal website?
- Just for family photos
- A blog / weblog maybe?
Is it a business?
- Active promotion - let people know what you're doing and selling with details of products or services etc.
- 'Just having a web presence' - some people just need a website to be a signpost towards their business. It not need contain anything more than contact details and a description of what you do.
- Selling - either one product with a "buy now" button, or a full blown shopping basket with online credit card transactions
Is it a community portal / gathering place?
- It may be that your website is serving a group of people - be it a church community, neighbourhood or any other meeting of minds
