What kind of design do I want?: Corporate looking? Fun? Vibrant?

You will have to decide based on your:

1. Corporate colours - You will have to sychronise with your corporate logos and other marketing materials.

2. Target Audience - If your crowd is going to young people, then you should go for bright colours. If your crowd is going to be serious business people, then you should go with solemn colours like blue.

3. Objective of the site -If you are trying to sell something to web visitors, then you should make it colourful and vibrant to attract people.

What are the contents am I going to put in?: "Content is King". This is the most critical part of the site as it will determine your visitors' response and decision to hang around or revisit the site. Most people have problems producing this portion. We would suggest that you spend some time going through this and decide what should be in and start writing on the content. Alternatively, you could always hire a copy writer for the project as well. The content varies from organizations to organizations.

Typical content pages consist of:
(a) Homepage
(b) About Us
(c) Products
(d) Services
(e) Contact Us
(f) Testimonials
(g) Blog
(h) Forum
(i) Privacy Notice
(j) Terms & Condition
What kind of images should I put onto the site?: Images are important as most people are appealed visually. You can decide to have pictures of your organization and your products. In the event that you run out of pictures, you could always visit http://www.istockphoto.com to grab a few pictures at very affordable cost.
How often will I be updating the site?: If you want people to revisit your site again and again, then you should update the website as regularly as possible. Many people build websites but never update them. In the end, they become white elephants.

If you plan to update regularly, then you should be looking at a Content Management System (CMS) such as Joomla. Having Joomla CMS will allow you to update the site on your own anytime you want. It is just like you composing an email in Gmail or yahoo mail. In additional, you don't have to go back to your web designers company all the time and this could help your organization to save resources.
How useful is the website going to be for my organization?: There are many strategies for this. If you are a business owner trying to gather email contacts and leads, then you should be looking at ways on how to collect emails addresses on the site. If you are an interior designer company, then you should be looking at showing off your past portfolios.
What are the common features found in the website?: There are various features which are commonly found. Common ones for organisations include:(a) Photo Gallery

(b) Rotating Banners
(c) Forums
(d) Contact Form
(e) Google Analytics
