Building a website is not something that should be done without spending time planning and researching first. You may want a website for your business for a number of reasons, it may be that you want to sell your products and / or services online or you may just want to give your viewers information in order for them to contact you to discuss in more detail. Once you know what type of site you want, you need to consider the content and images that you are going to be putting on it. Make sure that you constantly think about what the customer wants to see and read rather than why you want to see and read.
It may be that once you have built a website, you need to spend the first few months adding and removing / changing elements to get it to function as you want it to.
