7 steps to a brilliant website

Step 3 - Structure forms the foundation

With a very clear understanding of your business, your aims, and your brand, its now time to bring it together.

At this stage, its about deciding what pages you will have rather than exactly what will be written.

For example, do you have an online photo gallery, a Frequently Asked Questions Page, a Contact Us form, an e-commerce section?

You'll get the best ideas from, once again, looking around the net. After all, you're not the first person to go through this!

Step 4 - Become Picasso

Layout is critical in getting visitors to explore your website.

Do some research - what works on competitor sites? What do you like? How simple should your navigation be?

And once you've thought about it, pick up a pencil and a couple of slips of paper, and start drawing!

Don't worry about your artisitc skills - you're trying to put together an outline of a structure - one that works for you, suits your business, and most importantly will appeal to your customer.
