Planning Your Site Development


This is a draft:

Once you have identified your business goals, you can now put your “employee” to work for you through the development of a site. I personally envision my sites as my 24-7 employees. You certainly wouldn’t hired an employee without a clear vision of what you want that employee to do for you; the same is true with your site. The better your “training program” – the better the execution of your tasks.

Revisit Keyword Analysis based on competition
Identification
Development of “key” keywords
Target tiers of keywords through content creation

Selecting a Domain Name – can it be keyword driven?
Domain Hosting – where to host?

What platform of Development will you use? We recommend WP
WP Platform – free, open source, ready stream of competent, cost-effective developers
WP Themes
WP Plugins
