Good small business website design is all in the planning
As with most things in life, the more you put into something, the more you will generally get out of it. Whilst we always look to assist small businesses with their website design projects, it will help you to have thought about the project in some detail past just needing a website!

Firstly think about your business and how this website design and build will assist your business. Is it to be a small brochure site that will just act as a point of reference? Will it be required to sell anything online? Will you be looking to capture user data by offering downloads or something similar? What is it you want and need to say to the users you will capture? Start by simply listing the functionality that will be required and what the site will need to say.

Once you have an idea on what is required for the site to help your business, then you can start to see how many pages the site will be. If it is a small brochure website, then this might only need to be 4-5 pages. If it requires selling products, then you may need categories, product listing pages, specific product pages, and so be many more pages. This should allow you to begin creating even a very basic site map. This will help you see how your website will work and allow us to have a clear vision of what you are looking to achieve.
