Tips to help you get started in PHP


 

Getting Started

1. Determine the purpose for your site
Determining the goal of your site helps you determine what content you should put on your site. Here are some questions you should ask:

  • Who does my site target?
  • What will they be looking for?
  • What do I want my site to accomplish for my business?
  • What is my company's marketing strategy?


2. Gather content for your site

  • Is the information I need already written or will I need to create it?
  • Will information I have need to be edited for presentation on the Internet?
  • Do you have the logos and images for the site?
  • Who will need to approve content within your organization?
  • Remember: All copyrighted material must have permission of use.
Content gathering is a PROCESS.

It takes TIME and ORGANIZATION.

Do not underestimate this step.
