Organizing content and site mapping

 

It is hard to convey how important it is to organize web content before you jump into programming. It is crucial to write out the story and plan your call to action before web development because it will save you from a headache and a large bill in the end. It is very common to change content and discover an idea along the way, and it is irrelevant to say that this will not happen, but the key here is to think things through.

Some questions to answer before beginning a website project:

What is the basic overview to be met? Include background information if relevant.

What is the single purpose of your website?

What are secondary goals of your website?

What are your long-term goals?

Who is your target audience? Identify a typical visitor and profile, such as occupation, age, gender, and technological/web savvy.

What is important to your target audience?

What are some visual goals that the website should meet?

How will you measure the success of your website?

How are you different from your competition and how can that be highlighted?
