Identifying specific goals helps set the direction for the entire project and ensures alignment with the Council’s broader objectives.
Understanding the purpose of the website goes beyond business goals. Is it primarily an informational hub, a platform for delivering online services, a community engagement portal, or a combination of these? Defining the overarching purpose guides design decisions and feature prioritization throughout the development process.
Identifying the target audience is essential for tailoring the user experience. Consider demographics such as age, location, and interests. Understanding your audience’s needs and preferences informs design choices, content creation, and functionality to ensure the website resonates with its users.
Delve into the specific needs and pain points of your audience. Are they seeking information on local events, municipal services, or community news? Understanding user needs allows for a user-centered design approach, ensuring the website addresses and fulfills the requirements of its primary users.
Define the key functionalities and features that the website should offer. This may include online service request forms, event calendars, community forums, or interactive maps. Clearly outlining these features guides the development process and ensures that the final product meets both user and business requirements.
Determining the number of pages required sets the scope for the project. Consider the main navigation elements, essential landing pages, and any specific content pages. This information is crucial for estimating the project timeline, budget, and resource requirements.
