Defining long and short-term goals keeps your website focused in the right areas.
Control website cost and build time – release over time to complete quickly and within budget.

COMMUNICATION WHAT DO YOU EXPECT FROM THE WEBSITE DESIGN? CLEARLY COMMUNICATING THIS TO AN AGENCY IS CRUCIAL:
• Select examples of websites that represent what you want
• Compare these against your requirements – would it actually work? Review your examples if not.
• Discuss any design concerns as early as possible
• Be as objective as possible – your user is more important than your personal tastes
