Website Planning

This week, one of the assigned tasks is to write a brief proposal for a website. Thinking back to the numerous online sites that I have created, I realize that in most cases, I did not do much planning as I probably needed to do.

I always sketched a navigation plan for how I wanted visitors to view my site; however, I did not give much thought to the purpose for the page, or the type visitors I hoped to attract.

My instructor’s requirements for an instructional website proposal included:

• Purpose of the Web site (why would someone come here?)
• Target audience for the Web site

What other requ1irements have you considered when desigining a website?

Let’s share ideas!
