Summary
Once you have answered the important questions about your site’s purpose and goals, everything else becomes a great deal easier. Select your domain and register it, Select a good hosting provider. Think through a clear navigational system for the content you intend to create and make sure it is usable. Create and organize your content around what your visitors will be looking for. Once the navigation, layout and actual content have been created, work on the search engine optimization and finally, with whatever time remains, refine the look and feel of the site.
Spending your time wisely on what is important will produce the greatest return on the time you invest, and assure a well laid out site that is clear, easy to navigate and will draw and retain visitors. Glitz, glamor, AJAX and fancy Flash animations should always rank last on your to-do list.
