Your Content
One of the biggest mistakes people make when they decide they want to have a website is not knowing what you want to include in the content. I have had to send several clients back to the drawing board because they really had no idea what they wanted to put on the site.
Is it going to be a personal site where you journal? A commercial site where you are selling a product or service? An informational site that provides journalistic material on a particular subject?
Do you have a logo that you would like to have included on the site?
What links do you want to have in the menu and what pages would they access?
You should have established a basic flowchart of all of the information you would like to have included on the site and how you want it arranged. How do you want the material subdivided into categories so that readers can access it easily?
What photographs and marketing materials do you want to have on the site?
All of these questions should be answered or ideas formulated toward their answers before you commission your website. Your website designer can offer suggestions, but cannot usually intuit the information you would like to include. That is part of YOUR vision.
