How to create a great website, pt 1: IntroductionApr 20, 2009
The themes and dates of the posts will be:
- April 20th: Introduction
- April 23rd: Gathering team
- April 30th: Writing content
- May 7th: Creating design
- July 14th: Building functionality
- July 21st: Increasing traffic
In a nutshell, creating a great website is as follows:
- Build your site quickly, the details don't have to be perfect. In this timely world, great is enough. Just get it done.
- Decide alone, don't gather a big team to distract your clear thinking. People never agree with each other anyways. Recruit only the best to give you good advice and do not share decision making. Democracy sucks in web creation.
- Content is king. Think like your customers- write simply and shortly. Be visual. A picture is worth a thousand words.
- Promote. Get it out in the wild once it's ready. A great product tends to spread
quickly, but you still have to work hard. Without promotion no one
knows how great it is. And there will always be loads of other great
sites yearning for attention.
- Congratulations, your job is done. Or... is it? Sad news is that it will never be. Once your attention runs down, your site dies alone. A truly great sites needs updating, developing and caring, forever. This is actually the fun part and there's no need to avoid it.

"In a nutshell" -- there is no word about design?
- Tõnu Apr 20
Yes, I wanted to keep it short and neutral. No need for those everlasting arguments about design taste and content management system brands :)
You can get a great design from a design stock or ask a designer to create it uniquely for you.
In any case, do it quickly, don't try to be perfect and decide everything without a committee. - Edvard Apr 20
Good stuff. I like the words: "takes great copy, good design and a lot of time. These are all luxury items, so it would be wise to optimize the effort". Mandatory for a great page though. Thanks for the series, it will be very useful to pass over to folks with online-wishes ;)

I like brevity and content. Tell me about what I came to see, no more. I can repeat that about my passion.
Learning to nurture my site is King, it carries my mind belongings. The simple way is the best way to follow my creation and the reaction of those who see it.
Overly busy building has become paramount for me to avoid. I hope to enjoy this journey, with you. - Lucia Alvaro Jul 18

I finally was able to conceive a child of my own the year 2019 after 5 years without any issue. this really was the worst thing ever. It was a miracle that indeed shocked me. because i was left with no option but to use a Herbal Health Concoction that was prepared from Herbs to help my Immune. I got to find out about this from someone, and i talked to the direct source about my problem. He`s name is Priest Babaka and He told me how some necessary few herbs will be useful as to women`s health and recovery and He had to do what He knows best. He sent the Herbs to me and gave instruction on method of use. this all happened and i really have been able to say i`m glad God did this.
