It's better for one to approach website creation as a project. This will ensure that you will lay out your plans for how you will construct your website, how you will market it (if you want to increase traffic) and , maybe, how much it will cost you. Also, it will make you to create and focus on the goals you really want to achieve. If you approach it this way, you will manage to define your niche much more clearly which can lead you to creating content that is focused to that niche. In short, your aim should be to create a theme website. Lastly, no one likes to lose some money in projects that seem to have no direction.

To aid you in the planning process, you ought to ask yourself these questions: Who will I target with my message? What need will my website satisfy or what is the purpose of my website? What content will I put into my website? In fact, the second question should be the first one you should ask yourself. These questions will help you in coming up with your goals and will also give you a mental picture of how your website will look like.

What is the purpose of your website? What do you really want to accomplish with your website? Do you want to sell goods online? Do you want a website where you can show to a global audience the products of your hobbies? Or will you be into it just for fun? Its up to you to know what you really want o do on the Net. By knowing your website's purpose, you can also NAME your website appropriately (this will be important during the registration of your domain name). Let me repeat this into your ear, if you know your website's purpose you can manage to create your goals and objectives. Now let's turn to the people you want to target with your message.

Who will be your audience? Whom do you want your message to reach? Is it the Techies or the high school student? Is it your potential customers if you are selling something on the Net? Looking at these questions, you will realize that they will be critical in tailoring your message for that group, your target audience. This will also help in planning on how you will "talk" to your audience. For example, if you are an expert in a certain field, you will use industry jargon while talking with other industry experts. But if you were communicating with, say a high school student, you would 'trim your hedges". That is what I mean. For those selling products online they ought to know about the art of persuasion so as to clinch that deal or sell their products. Furthermore, if you know your audience and your website's purpose will greatly help you in creating a themed site which is also popular with the major search engines. This will also be useful in making some online through advertising such as AdSense and in Affiliate Marketing.

Once you have defined your website's purpose and your audience then you are ready to start the most important step in actualizing your dream of owning a website. This is the process of registering your Domain name.
