Step 3. Creating a Web Site

Now here’s where it gets fun. There are so many different ways and tools for creating a website. And building a website is just the first step to having a successful website. You need to start step 3 with the end in mind. Spend more time determining what you want your site to do.

Before you start , ask yourself these questions:

• Is it going to be like brochure for your business?
• Do you want it to capture leads for you?
• Are you planning on using it to generate sales?
• Are you using it to educate?
• Are you trying to create a social website?
• Do you want it to rank high in the search engines?
• And there are many more questions…

I suggest you decide what you want before you start actually creating the site. One of the most important things you should consider is if you should do it yourself or if you should hire someone else to do. The dirty little secret is that you can have professionals competing to get your project done by going to oDesk.

But I know – you want to take a crack at it your self. That’s commendable. So I’ll tell you where to go to get it done using some of the best tools available on the web. At this point, the tools you use make all the difference in the world. And save you lots of learning time.
