What to include
Before you start designing your Web site, you need to consider what the aim of the site is: who is it for, and what will it contain? What you decide to include on your Web pages will depend on:
- what information you have got
- what function you want your pages to fulfil
- how much Web space you have got available
- how much time you intend to devote to it
For example, if you are involved in a one name study you will have a different view from someone running a family history society site.
The last item in this list may not seem like a design decision at all, but will be important for a society site - a list of forthcoming events which is out-of-date because you haven't had time to update it will not be good PR. It's better to start with a small site and add to it as you gain experience and find the time.
