We have over 15 years experience in building websites. The #1 mistake we see clients make is lack of planning. This can lead to your project failing for several reasons. For example:
- You make assumptions.
- Assumptions can cause blown budgets, missed deadlines and resentment between you and your vendor. Not a good way to build a relationship.
- You have a poorly defined scope of work.
- Without a very clear scope of work, you and your vendor will have a different understanding of what’s included, what’s not included, and who is responsible for what. This is a recipe for disaster.
- You miss the mark with your audience.
- Without first understanding your users and their needs, you’re likely to build something that doesn’t reach your market.
- You don't know what success looks like.
- Would you train for months to run a marathon if the race didn’t have a finish line? Exactly. Unless you clearly define your goals and how you'll measure them, it's impossible to know if your project was a success, a failure, or somewhere in
between.
