The first thing we need to do is to consult about your objective. Then we should establish a goal for the purpose of your Web Site. This will help us to compile appropriate content and present it in a structured manner which will communicate your intent for the Site. Once this is determined, you can collect and organize any other necessary information that will be used in your Site. This will help us to accomplish a visualization of how the data will be structured and interlinked to assure that your information is communicated comfortably and thoroughly to the viewer.

For most large sites, a planned layout is a necessity. Without it you might expect to get twice the possible cost as a quote from a web site developer because of all the unknowns. A layout is the blueprint of the project. They are very easy to construct, but do consider some thought and take some time.

Without a planned layout, it's like giving a contractor all the material to build your custom home and then making him guess what's in your mind without providing any blueprints or pictures. The result will be many extra hours of work to find your mind and to make changes along the way because of all the guess work.
