Breaking your web project into deliverable bite sized parts that you can afford to develop and that makes dollars and sense so that the different stages all fit together and are provided for during the development stage.
Whether you are designing a five page home business web site or a corporate portal the fundamental aspects for the project are the same.
Plan your features carefully. Go for basic delivery of information that is easy to develop and that works. Design the site with growth in mind. If you know that there will be extra pages required further down the track, plan them in now at the beginning.
Develop Your Web Site Within Your Budget
If your final site is going to be too great to finance first up, take the project in definite stages. Plan for the final site, but have it delivered in price sized chunks that you can afford. The web developer needs to be aware of your intended site; your objectives and the constraints that you have to work within. This all saves a great deal of time as working as your web site development crew can often provide the site to the given stage that you require to start with, but have the planning for stage two sitting there ready to go to the next level.
Planning bite sized chunks works well and saves a lot of time and money over the life of the project. We have found that a well planned stage one can finance stage two itself quite easily. We have some larger clients financing many stages through self generating revenues form the their original sites!
Like any journey, you have to plan your first step!
