I have a background in both desktop publishing and programming, both
of which sets of skills are necessary to make the most of the Web. I
have a detailed understanding of the
possibilities, and also of the limitations imposed by the medium. I have
considerable experience.
General considerations
When planning a web site, you will need to determine:
Content: text, graphics, pictures, sound and video to be included
Interactive elements: enquiry or order forms; real-time database
queries; etc
Structure: system of tables of contents and links between pages
Design: consistent system of colours, graphics and layout
Updating: how much material will need updating and how frequently?
Time: in-house and subcontracted time required
Costs: staff time (and opportunity cost) and subcontractors' charges
You should also consider the audiences you should cater for:
existing customers/clients/members
potential customers/clients/members
competitors
general enquirers (browsers, the media)
enquirers from other countries
non-English speaking enquirers
