DiAl Design's Eight Key Steps to Success on the Web



No one person or company has ALL the answers. Networking with and learning from others is an important principle for success in any area and is particularly true with the WWW, a rapidly changing and relatively new medium.

We offer some of our understanding of what it takes to be successful on the Internet, to you, in the hope that our web design tips will be useful to you in some way.

	Step1 Planning	For success on the WWW, a well formulated plan before you start can save a lot of disappointment and unmet expectations later. You know your business the best. Clear lines of communication with your Web Designer are vital for your information, products or services to be represented in the best possible light.
	Step 2 Web Design	An easy to navigate site with fastloading pages will provide a pleasant and informative experience for your visitors. The layout, style and content of your Web Pages should be as unique as your product, service, company or organisation and your intended viewing audience.
	Step 3 Hosting	You do not even need to be on the internet yourself to have a functional presence. A large range of possibilities exist for hosting your site and these should be carefully assessed according to your individual requirements.
	Step 4 Positioning	We believe this to be one of the most vital yet least considered areas today. Perhaps you have already invested a lot of your valuable time and resources in Web Page Design and are wondering why you are not getting the expected results. Also see the Search Engine Optimisation section.
	Step 5 Interactivity	In our increasingly fast paced and high tech world, most people like to know there are other real humans behind the scenes. From a simple e-mail link to secure on-line ordering, there is no substitute for good, old fashioned customer service, follow-through and personality.
	Step 6 Monitor	So you are up and running. How do you measure your progress? Do you know who your visitors are, how many, where from? Do you know what they were looking for when they arrived at your site, and whether or not they found it?
	Step 7 Maintenance	Ever improving, changing and vibrantly alive pages will assure you of return visitors. Did you manage to hit position 1 on page 1 of your favorite search engine at one point in time? Good, but have you checked your rating recently?
	Step 8 Reward	Success on the WWW is possible! New Internet users are arriving daily. They are seeking the convenience of on-line trading, research, entertainment, and communication. Will they find YOU there?
