Welcome back. In this part I will go into some of the more technical aspects of building your website.

The ultimate part of the development of the online business website is the site plan. This depicts the visual representation of the site, from beginning to end, showing style, color, and down to precise detail as necessary. Since this part illustrates the businesses logo and image, the website must be well thought out and established before it is launched so it can be viewed by the public and other professionals.

The tree plan is probably the most common schematic implemented for the development of the website. This shows every page of the site and how each one will look down to the colors, styles, icons, menus, etc. A line to the other pages of the site to which it is linked connects each page. This layout helps the online business owner (and the web designer, if one is hired) review what is expected. Sometimes it changes, other times it doesn’t. When it does, the tree plan is redesigned for another review, and this process continues until the visual depiction resembles the final result. This is necessary so when the construction of the site commences, the tree plan is used as the guide.

When being build, each page is done separately, starting with the homepage, which should link to every other page associated with the site. This page displays every feature involved, as well as denotes the purpose of various other pages. If any of those secondary pages were to be done first, holes might sometimes form. This is why the plan must be set out in exact detail beforehand. Yes, the existence of this tree plan would allow the designer to do the pages of the site in any order, but it’s always easier, appropriate and logical to do construct the home page first. After all, those who are to use the benefits of the site by starting at the home page, so why shouldn’t the designer?

As each page is completed, its links to the homepage and other connected pages are activated through administrative processes, usually using a hypertext language, such as HTML or PHP-two of the most commonly used in web design-to virtually “spell” out everything involved on the page.

HTML, the basis of all hypertext languages, features every item and/or motion on the page in coded version and marked up one at a time. “opened” and “closed” symbols must both be inserted for each action, and each of those actions will work only when “opened” and “closed.” If one symbol of sign is left out, the action will not work. For example, ” and ” refer to bolds, whereas “” and ” indicate italics. The first is planted just before the first word to be affected by the action, and the latter directly after the last word. This is a simple but time-consuming process that requires a knowledge and skill for everything to work properly. Once all the hypertext is in place and all the links active (included email and registration and subscription interactives), and each page is loaded up into an online host, the website will be ready to be used by others.

This is the basic process of site construction, although more is involved. If everything is correctly and carefully conducted, the online business will definitely be on its way.

As you can see it does get a bit complicated in areas. I have always relied on a good website builder product to help build my sites. In the end it was well worth the money to have a good looking and running site.

Whatever you choose good luck and stay committed to your Hundred-Fold-Life.

You have chosen to operate an online business to establish your Hundred-Fold-Life. The last stage of establishing a business online is the website. Because it serves to represent the business’ image and provides total convenience for potential customers, the website is by far one of the most important parts to the business. Therefore, every aspect of its creation must be overseen with precision. Remember that your site will reflect how your business will be perceived.

Depending on whether or not the business owner does the work her- or himself or hires a professional web designer to do the job, knowledge of web construction is imperative. If the latter is the case, the expenses will naturally be higher, although some instructional software might be necessary for business owners to teach themselves, so that will have some cost as well. Those preparing the website should do personal analyses to determine will need to be paid and establish a budget to cover it.

This includes, too, the basic template, which is advised to be used for the home page. This tool can be purchased and downloaded from any of various sites online at a price falling anywhere from $30.00 to over $200.00. Before buying, however, one should weight the pros and cons of employing one ore more of these implants. This alone will definitely affect expenses to some extent, depending on which template is bought and how many.

Despite the cost, the webpage template has several advantages to making one’s own. First of all, the template is professional looking in its visual quality. This will indeed inspire confidence in those who gaze upon it. There is also the consideration of preorganisational design. These templates accommodate the basic need of every single business: menus, title space, color and style, tables, and link icons for email, identity page and links space. Another innovation is the possibility of utilizing more than one template in constructing the entire site, which would illustrate diversity in the variety of style as displayed through each page having its own appearance. This would require more than one template to apply, although a single template can be modified as necessary. However, one page can bring consistency in appearance and arrangement to the site, as every page would look the same. In either case, cost will definitely come into play, and between them costs will undoubtedly vary.

For those who are building their own page, HTML and PHP knowledge, paint and photo shop, and clipart uploading will be necessary for implementing page coding. Just as much time will go into studying webpage design as it does in conceptualizing the business and getting own the Mission Statement, the Procedural Policies, even the budget itself.

It is for these and other reasons that the design, construction and price rely strongly and directly on the business owner, who it is, what that person’s knowledge and skills are, and the person’s personal preferences and funding. Once it is all determined, however, the next stage will be to laying out the entire webpage in detail to see what it will look like when completed. This will be the very first visual representation of the online business to emerge for anyone to see . . . .

Using sample business plans and their structure, along with studying as many business plan examples as you can, will provide you with the necessary framework to consider your business from every possible angle.

Starting or running your business without a business plan is akin to being a human without a skeleton!

Not only will using a sample structure highlight any areas you haven’t fully thought through, but it will also provide you with a good idea of what makes a good business plan, and what doesn’t.

The importance of your business plan as a motivational factor in running or starting your business cannot be underestimated. You will find that your commitment continues to build as you collect information, research and write each section.

Your business plan should always accompany requests for Small Business Loans , and lenders or any kind of angel investor will simply refuse to consider your business proposal without one.

Lenders and investors want to see your plan with the aim of satisfying key questions before they make their decision to grant funding or not.

Once you’ve commenced trading your small business plan will act as a steak in the ground, and help you measure where you expected to be against where you actually are. It will help you take corrective action as necessary.

Sample Business Plan Structure

All plans should include at least the elements listed below, and perhaps additional sections depending on the type of industry.

Executive Summary
Company Background
Products or Service Overview
Unique Selling Proposition and competitive advantages
The Marketplace
Operations
Leadership and management profiles including professional competencies
Professional Support
Risks and Threats assessment
Financial forecasts including key assumptions
Relevant appendices

Collecting the information for all the sections is time consuming and sometimes difficult. The business section of your local library is always a good place to start research. Ask your friendly librarian about how to look up market research reports, and how to investigate competitors.

If you are not familiar with spreadsheet software, constructing the necessary financial forecasts represents a significant hurdle. You have 2 choices:

Pay someone to put part or all of the plan together for you, or a small investment in some business planning software.

The advantage of using a professional is you will receive the benefits of their experience, combined with a professional looking plan.

The disadvantage is that it won’t be easy to make changes, and more importantly, because you will not have been as involved in its preparation, you won’t be as familiar with its contents as you should be. Make sure to learn the contents well.

One final tip though, remember it’s the quality of the information you put into it that determines what comes out.
