Websites, truth be told. The word "website" has become a large umbrella that defines the internet. For instance, "Amazon.com" is a website as is "youstaytuned.com". "Amazon.com" has tens of thousands of pages and is viewed by millions of people each day and has hundreds of thousands of page links. "youstaytuned.com" is designed for a small target audience and receives less than 100 views per day and has no links. "Amazon.com" is designed to generate income and does nearly 4 billion dollars in annual revenue. "youstaytuned.com" is an information website and is not designed to generate income. "Amazon.com" is strictly an "on-line" store while "youstaytuned.com" provides information to potential clients. It's not difficult to understand that the "Amazon.com" website cost millions to create, and millions to maintain each year. "youstaytuned.com" demands just a one-time developmental fee and requires no daily maintenance. Two different websites and two different purposes and yet they are both referred to as "websites". Now that you have a greater understanding of websites and you begin to think about your own website, there is one more issue to be considered.
Your website, how to get what you really want - and for less. Your first meeting with a web developer is, far too frequently, the most frustrating time between a web developer and a new client. Often, the client just knows that they want "a website" but they are not familiar with all the integral parts of what it takes to develop a working website. When clients are met with the truth of how detailed design work can be is when the client realizes their vision leaves too much guess work for their developer. The client learns too late that web developers are not good mind readers and after many billable hours trying to present what the developer thinks the client wants the client has an invoice for wasted work and this poor beginning now sets the tone of doubt and frustration. But none of this has to happen!This seems simply said but the best way to save time, money, and to prevent bad relations is with good communications. The best way to communicate with your web developer is to know what you want in your website before you have that first conversation. And remember, your web developer does not expect your ideas to be set in stone but the better vision you have to start with the better website you will receive. And not just a website that will match your vision but one that takes the minimum of time saving you lots of money and frustration.
