Deciding what your site goals are is the very first step you should take when you create a Web site. Ask yourself or your client questions about the site. What do you hope to accomplish by having a Web site? Write down your goals so that you remember them as you go through the design process. Goals help you focus and target your Web site to your particular needs.
A Web site that provides news about a specific subject should have a very different look and navigation than a Web site that will sell products. The complexity of your goals will affect the navigation, the media that you use (Flash, Director, and so on), and even the look and feel of your site.
