It is all very well just designing your site as you go along, but you'll be banging your head with frustration! You need to focus on what you want out of it. Who are your visitors? What type of site do you want?
Yes, focus! Have some direction where you are going. Make sure you have all the steps in the sales funnel thought through.
For example, let say you are designing a squeeze page. As you probably know, your main objective is to build a list.
If you think about it, you really need to consider the whole process before even writing your copy. For this example, do you have the following?
• Your niche and the type of visitors you are seeking
• Product that you are giving away
• Have a domain name and hosting set up
• Autoresponder (AWeber) account with a few follow up messages already set up in advance
Now that is sorted, you can start to look at planning your website copy. A good way is to map it out using the old fashioned way, pen and paper.
If it is a squeeze page, you will need to think about a compelling headline. Then think about the key benefits of what your product will do for them. Where do you want the images and of course opt-in box to go?
On the other hand, if you are planning to have an e-commerce (online store) website, it will require a lot more preparation. How many products do you want included? There is a lot to consider, especially your niche as you don't want to be in direct competition with Amazon.
Planning your website in the beginning you may think is unnecessary, but it will pay you dividends in the end, eliminating some of those frustrations.
