A website should solve a business problem first. Define whether the primary goal is qualified enquiries, online sales, brand credibility, customer support or a stronger digital presence. Then select the technology and structure that support that goal.

Start with business goals

Evaluate responsive design, performance, SEO foundations, integrations, security and post-launch support before choosing a development partner.

What businesses should focus on

• Start with a clear business objective and customer journey.
• Build performance, mobile usability, security and SEO into development.
• Use analytics and real customer feedback to improve the experience.
• Keep the technology maintainable so future changes are easier.
