Running a business is never easy, but building an effective web site community can often make a huge difference. We'll use this site to introduce our business and explain the services we have to offer. People don't want to spend time figuring out what a community consulting business does, so our home page will highlight the most important features of both our business and our web site. We'll think of the home page as a kind of portal, giving customers the information they want at a glance, and offering lots of links to draw them in to the rest of the site. For example, we might feature a different community on the home page each month, along with a link to other examples of online community so people can get more information. Or, if we're running a contest to attract business, we might include a link to our contest page. |
