The reason they're useless is because the business that commissioned the website never stopped to: • Define their expectations of "going online" • Identify who they wanted to target • Question what their target markets need from their site • Answer their target market's call for content • Structure how they will get a return on investment. • And measure their website’s ongoing performance. This document takes you step-by-step through the process of creating a website that you can hold accountable.TRANSCRIPT
