Now what do I do? Who will use it? –Why? How? When? –What does our audience look like? What will our website look like? –It’s an extension of your business and your premises –Pictures speak louder than words – but beware –Colour, fonts, logos, “feel”. Okay, PJ, I have a friend who thinks she might need a website…

A website is an on-going project Getting (& keeping) an audience A website is an on-going project How will people get to know about it? Give people a reason to keep coming back Keep it fresh and timely Who is using it? Why? How do you know? Are they the right people? Encourage feedback.
10
Technology For the majority of business websites the technology is less important than the content Ask: Will a particular feature, effect, technology etc fulfill my site’s key objectives? Websites are about your business, NOT about computers.
11
PJ’s thunks Start simple – is the complex needed? Change as needed Don’t use technology, special effects etc unless they are beneficial Don’t assume the world will see it Measure its effectiveness –Make sure you get bang for buck.
12
I’ll get my 14 year old nephew to do it. Thanks PJ, but… I’ll get the bloke down the pub/friend from the gym to do it I’ll do it myself. Haven’t you got better things to do with your time? What will you do when he discovers girls? Mates rates comes with mates service - A website is too important for that!
