STEP 1: DISCOVERY

The first step in planning a creative, productive website is similar to that of any great scientific process — the “discovery” or the collection of data to be used later during the actual web design process. A good developer must work closely with the client to learn more about who they are, what their business is all about, and what benefit the website will have for them.

A good developer will ask:
— Why is the website needed?
— Who is the target audience of the website?
— What does the client want the visitors to the website to take away with them?
— What is the product to be promoted by the site?
— Does the client have an existing marketing strategy?

After the developer has collected enough information about the client and his or her business to build a sufficient profile, it’s time to assemble the data and start building the prototype.
