Many years ago, creating and designing a website was like taking candy from a baby. You bought the latest copy of Frontpage and started to design a website.

Buy A Template?
Sure, you can buy a template and fill in the blanks, or get a website design made in India for next to nothing. But beware, templates are never, ever custom made and Indian web designer may speak English, but they do not speak the same language as you.
Information Architecture
Make sure your content is well organized. One of the biggest mistakes I have seen is that companies sort their information according to their business structure. But, what is logical for you might not be so logical for your customer. With a careful evaluation of the information you want to present to the public, you will be able to order your information and products in a much more structured way. This will help make the overall user experience a happy user experience.
