Über Jans “must read” IA Blog bin ich auf einen Artikel im FatDux-Blog aufmerksam geworden: The 10 dos and don’ts of website development

Eric Reiss, den ich von den EuroIA-Konferenzen kenne, hat einen kompakten Artikel mit 10 Aspekten verfasst.

1. Don’t confuse marketing with communication
2. Don’t view your website as a software development project
3. Don’t couple unrelated initiatives
4. Don’t be afraid to set measurable goals for your website
5. Don’t confuse your needs with those of your visitors
6. Don’t view your website as a fixed-term project
7. Don’t confuse print design with web design
8. Don’t let personal opinion cloud your focus
9. Don’t be afraid to ask stupid questions
10. Don’t hide in your office

Die “Dos” zu den “Don’ts” könnt Ihr im FatDux-Blog nachlesen.
