Here is a brief introduction to the subject of web strategy: written by the Managing Director of Evanta Solutions, Robert HuntPlan and identify the team Many New Zealand websites do not reach their goal because of inadequate Planning and insufficient understanding of success in this medium; you need more expertise than you would for print campaigns. You must identify your purpose and ensure coordination of the experts who will carry through essential tasks.How clearly have you discussed the measurement of success with your site designers? What criteria were used for choosing site hosting? What strategies do you have for updating, and search engine visibility? Does your hosting provider work with you, accommodating special statistics or security needs for instance? ----Some, like my company, can offer strategic planning at every level from single product web shops through to ecommerce supersites, not just traditional website design and hosting. How good an information technologist do you have to be to hold the tiller of your web ship? Many business and professional people at first find the choices in information technology and design technicalities confusing. Obtain expert guidance before starting. Ensure you have coordination between your hosting, design, programming and promotion. To sail successfully you do not need to become the boat builder and designer - but - do plan the journey!
