site real
value. The organization needs to consider
what the
audience is looking for in the site.
Consider what
information or transactions the audience is
anticipating.
Add value be considering by thinking creatively
to
deliver content that exceeds your customer
expectations. Consider how the site can be
made
interactive. Think about how the customer
can
participate (ex. contest, coupons, games etc).
Think about how you can draw your customer back
to
your site. Consider creating a community
(ex. guest
book, message boards, forums etc) that shares
valued
information. You may even want to consider
a permission based ezine that provides valued
updates and links back to your site.
A web template allows you to kick start your
site
development and provides you with a foundation
