What is consultation?

An effective web site is carefully planned before any work is started.

Why a web site?

First, you must decide why your business needs a web site and the audience it hopes to attract. With the number of internet users at over 1,463,632,361 strong and growing, your business cannot really afford not to have a web site, but it must be aimed at the correct consumer audience. Once you have completed this process you will have a clear and feasible plan for your web site project. We will provide you with a design proposal. This includes an easy-to-understand breakdown of the web site design, as well as a detailed costing.

Goals:

You need to set the goals of your web site. Do you wish to sell products or a service online, is or is it's main purpose to offer information, or customer support? We must also determine what topics or information your web site should contain. This could be product information, contact information, a searchable database, special pricing, pages of photographs or frequently asked questions. What will appeal to your target audience?

Assign a webmaster to oversee the project:

You may want to assign a webmaster to oversee the project. This should be someone within your company who can work to gather information and ideas, not only at the beginning of the project but on an ongoing basis. They need not be an expert on the internet but must know your business. This person becomes the primary contact between your company and your RomWebs web site designer.

Likely discussions will involve:

Choice of domain name and host
Number of pages and or products required
Choice of design
Possible promotion and maintenance issues
Estimated costs
Additional services if required
