Why do so many people lose money with their web sites? Proper web design takes experience, planning, and patience. Lack of planning is the main problem I see on a lot of web sites. Your visitors can easily tell if your site was quickly made with an off the shelf web design program. Your website should be carefully planned out and professionally designed.

To begin planning your site, stop and list all of the pages that you would like your web site to include. Next write a short list of details for exactly what each page is supposed to accomplish. Then write the content, or what you'd like to say in the main body of each page.

If you are hiring Sexton Design to do your design work, information like this will help us in determining the amount of time it will take to build your web site. This list also insures an important page is not forgotten when building the web site. Going back to add a missed page can be costly and time consuming.

Once you have the list of pages and their content you will be using, you can start planning out the web sites' navigation. Make sure your site is easy to navigate so that customers can find their way around. If it is not simple to navigate, your visitors will just get annoyed and leave your site. Use the same navigation system on all of your pages, so your visitors don't have to figure out something new on every page.

By following these simple planning tips in the development of your web site, you will be well on your way to having a web site that people will want to return to.
