the website will be like. The question “Why are
you building a website?” and “What are the
goals for the website?” should be answered at
this point. I a nutshell, organizations use their
website to share information to their respective
clients.

that you intended to build, the next major step is
to decide what specific information you want to
share or what specific service you want to give.

attention.
