Not sure where to start, what should be included or how to organize it?..Imagine that you are planning a 5 page brochure for your business. To do this you would divide your content into 5 categories or pages. Start with an overview of your product and/or services, with the goal being to entice your customer to search further pages on your site. This overview would be your "Home Page". The other four pages, or categories will be connected to your home page, by links. Categories you might consider...



Here are several things to consider as we prepare to develop a site for you. Keep in mind that this is written for companies but most of it is applicable to personal sites as well.
