Designing Your Site

The very first step in designing a web site is to define it. To properly define a site there are three questions that must be answered.

What is the purpose of the site?
Who will be visiting the site?
How will the site serve the client?

The answers to these questions will guide us as we construct your site.

Identify the Purpose of the Web Site

A web site may have several purposes. In that case it is necessary to determine which is the primary purpose, which is secondary, and so on. A site that is intended to be strictly informative, such as a news site, is likely to look much different than a site that is designed to sell a product. On the other hand, a site for a college may have some subtle similarities to a site that sells books. The college site probably will be intended to present the school in a very positive and manner so that students will want to enroll. The retail book site will want to convince visitors that it is the best place to purchase reading material.

Identifying Who will Visit the Web Site
Determining who the visitors are likely to be is crucial in deciding not only the general appearance of the site, but also the technology that might be used to build the site.

If the project is likely to have visitors who log in from home, it is necessary to design the pages with the understanding that users may have slow modem connections.

On the other hand, if visitors are expected to be fans of a rock band, then high-end technology such as Flash may be acceptable.

Serving the Needs of the Client
The term "client" in this instance refers to anybody for whom a site is built (the customer), not just a paying customer. In the case of a Web site built for a family reunion, the client is the family. Will the site properly serve the need of the family by providing clear directions to the location of the reunion? Can the family photos be properly displayed?

A client could be a customer. In such an instance the product must be clearly understood. Will he or she want to buy? How will this be accomplished?
