Purpose of Design: It is essential
to define the purpose of the website as one of the first steps
in the planning process. A purpose statement should show focus
based on what the website will accomplish and what the users
will get from it. A clearly defined purpose will help the rest
of the planning process as the audience is identified and the
content of the site is developed. Setting short and long term
goals for the website will help make clear the purpose and
plan for the future when expansion, modification, and
improvement will take place. Also, goal-setting practices and
measurable objectives should be identified to track the
progress of the site and determine success.
Defining the audience is a key step in the website planning
process. The audience is the group of people who are expected
to visit your website – the market being targeted. These
people will be viewing the website for a specific reason and
it is important to know exactly what they are looking for when
they visit the site. A clearly defined purpose or goal of the
site as well as an understanding of what visitors want to
do/feel when they come to your site will help to identify the
target audience.
