Sure you can buy a ready-made template online, add your logo (if you have one) and content – and presto, you have a website. But, is it working for your business or just another online presence?

There’s no benefit to launching a site haphazardly. As we move into a more mobile society, your website may be the first point of interaction with consumers. It may also be your last if there’s no appeal or doesn’t function properly. When you decide to take the plunge and establish an online presence, think about your goals, and even future plans. How will it not only benefit your business, but those visiting your site?

If you’re going to invest the time and money, invest wisely and do it right the first time. Proper planning takes time and the basic steps in website design and development include: 1) Information Gathering; 2) Design; 3) Development and Testing; 4) Launch; and 5) Maintenance.
