They held meetings to discuss the way the Web site would work. Successful Web design begins and ends with customer needs. The following strategies can help you create a useful, effective Web site. The first consideration when building, rebuilding, or redesigning your site is who will be using it. Unfortunately, many potentially great Web projects are conceived and developed in an executive vacuum.
Someone decides that the company needs a new or redesigned site, and thus the project begins.
Too often the inspiration for such projects is something fancy the boss saw on a competitor's site, or maybe an article in a trade magazine about what some hip, young company is doing. Companies often find themselves embarking on Web projects without a well thought-out strategy or plan. In order to create a customer-focused Web site, it is crucial to determine what your customers need. If the majority of your customers dial in from modem connections, a graphics-intensive site, with loads of cumbersome animations, may not be a great idea. If, on the other hand, most of your customers come to your site through a corporate LAN, the site should be designed with this in mind.
