Step #2 Plan & Build Your Website

Get it wrong here and the repercussions will be expensive and time consuming. That is why you to break down your web project into manageable chunks. It begins with the specification which is where you do all your groundwork thinking and where the website takes shape on paper. Next, those plans are fashioned into a design you can see, then turned into a working website and finally tested and put live on the internet.

It sound simple but it is not! It is a complex and detailed process, and one which typically takes a lot longer than you think. The biggest risk to you is believing that your web designer or site template will do it for you. In reality, they can only provide you with the framework for your site; its organization, content, sales capacity, testing and marketing are all down to you. Your designer or the template may be able to guide you, but they certainly cannot do it all for you.
