When building a website you need to consider what your competitors are offering. Many companies make the error of building a website and then checking their competitors to find out that they are offering a service or functionality that they could have added in.

The beauty of a website is that it can be added to and amended but this may cost you more than it would if you had included it in the original design.

When it comes to designing a website you need to keep thinking about what your customers want and not just what you want on the site as ultimately it is them that will be using it.

Some businesses decide to add log in areas to their site to allow their customers access to documents and personal information. This can be a great tool, but it must be secure as any breach of this could lead to a loss of customers.
