How to create good Site Goals
• Getting clear on why you are starting your site and what you want to accomplish is an important first step to starting your site.
• The number one reason why people don’t finish their site is because they don’t have a clear vision of what they want to create…
• Take a step back and think through your main site goals and write them down.

Getting Some Ideas on design What do you like on a website?
I prefer to see a menu bar across the top of the page, not down the sides
What do other websites do well that you like? Have a search facility for their website so I can easily find the information I want
What don’t you like to see on websites? I don’t like it when the information has to be scrolled down the page for pages and pages
