What Is a Web Site
Above all else, a web site is a way of communicating. The story your Web
site tells is up to you. What works great for a techno-punk heavy metal band
would probably be a total disaster if applied to telling the story of a local
ASPCA shelter. First and foremost, a Web Site is a reflection of
personalities--that of the owners and the corporate culture they weave. When
it's done right, it should be your story and the developer should only shine
by telling that story accurately and in an exciting, captivating way. |
