Product Description
by Elaine Meszaros (Author)
Save yourself time, money and aggravation. Do you need to build a business website, but don't know where to start? Should you build it yourself or hire outside help? What information should your website contain? Who will be your target audiences? Will you sell products online? Blog? How do you choose a domain name and a host (and what are they?) The Devil's Advocate's Guide to Planning Your Business Website takes you from start to finish on creating your business website. It serves up a hearty helping of needs assessment questions, a side of advice and a soupçon of snarky anecdotes. "The Devil's Advocate Guide to Planning Your Business Website is not a computer or HTML manual, leaving such material to other, more technical resources. Instead, it is a "must-read" for any start-up business, regardless of whether the proposed website is to be created personally, internally, or with the aid of an outside professional. The "Devil's Advocate" reference in the title alludes to an accessible, reader-friendly, and extensive tour of common pitfalls - website mistakes that can potentially cripple or destroy a business in today's increasingly online-driven economy. Chapters discuss practical considerations to keep in mind when building, updating, and advertising one's website. Highly recommended!" -Wisconsin Bookwatch, Nov. 2015
Author Biography
Elaine Meszaros started designing websites back in the day when they could only have 256 colors and had to be hand-coded in HTML, uphill both ways, in a snowstorm, with wolves nipping at her heels! Elaine's clients include authors, artists, manufacturers, unions, retail shops, therapists, speakers and everyone in-between. 99% of her clients are lovely, organized people who pay their bills on time and would never dream of asking her to reschedule her honeymoon for a meeting. The other 1% provided the anecdotes for this book.
