It is very important
to establish what you want your web site to do. Are you aiming to use the site
to generate new sales? Do you want the site to display information to employees
(company regulations), or data to suppliers? (standard business terms), or
technical support to customers/suppliers? Your web site could be a mixture of
all three.
Decide what you want
your web site to be, get a blank sheet of paper and write down all the possible
uses for your web site. By doing this you'll be able to determine your web site
users, and what types of information they will require. This will greatly help
your web-site design.
Having decided the needs of the users of your web
site, the next step would be to decide upon the content of your site. You need
to be aware of how you are going to present the information.
Are you going to
simply present your products and services in a simple way? Or are you going to
give in depth guides? The best solution generally would be to have simple product
images with a brief description of each item and the price, with a link for more
detailed information if the user wants it. This gives the user quick information
and an option to explore further.
