Web Site Requirements

What Should Your Site Do For You?

There are a many benefits to starting fresh. But, if you have a site, you have a lot of content and your customers know your site as it is. Questions I ask include:

Web Hosting
Does your current hosting account (if you have one) accommodate the capabilities and functions you want on your site?

What Kind of Site Do You Want
There are brochure sites and there are managed content sites. You will need to choose a type.

E-Commerce
Do you, or do you wish to, sell access to the content on your site by subscription? Do you sell items (clothing, books, tools)? Do you sell reservations for movies or tours?

Social Networking
Do you want to support and encourage the public to register with your site to take advantage of customer-originated content, such as comments, a forum, photo albums, interoperability with Facebook or other social networking sites?

Web standards are maturing with each day passing. Design approaches and practices that were commonly used eighteen months ago are obsolete now.

I am honored to create and maintain Web sites for church congregations and parishes. I build these sites to the congregation’s specifications to help them tend to their members and promote their message to the world.

I create commercial Web sites that: Comply with Web standards, Are accessible to persons with disabilities, and that Effectively present the client and its operations to potential customers.

I work hard for my non-profit customers to present their organizations clearly and effectively. These Web sites comply with Web standards, are accessible to visitors regardless of physical condition or disability, effectively promote the organization’s work, and build community support, sponsorship, development.

Our society has always been mobile; friends and family spread out across the continent and overseas over the years. Social networking sites, such as Facebook, permit greater continuity or reestablishment of friendships among alumni. A Web site dedicated to a particular class, however, allows members greater opportunities to reconnect by focusing on that class.

Blogging allows you to publish your thoughts or experiences to the public. Many use personal blogs to help keep their extended family informed or to promote their professional or political perspectives.
