1. Who is your target audience?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Building a website just for the sake of having one is no longer going to cut it. It\u2019s critical that you start by defining who<\/em> you\u2019re building your website for. Defining your target audience will drive design, site architecture, content\u2026everything<\/em>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ask yourself:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • Who is your ideal customer?<\/li>
  • How would they like to view the information you want to provide?<\/li>
  • What would they find aesthetically pleasing?<\/li>
  • What kind of content would they like; that would convert them from a visitor on your site to a customer?<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    A good web development company will be able to help you think through this process \u2013 and also put these somewhat idealistic thoughts into action \u2013 but it\u2019s crucial you, as the business owner, know your customer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
