As you are going to spend your valuable time & resources to build a website, so definitely you should have some clear objectives, you are going to achieve. After all you are a Business Man, and Business people do not put their efforts for nothing. If I am right, then definitely we want to achieve some success with our website. That’s really great. But having a website or having a successful website are two different things.

Do you know that there are many companies in the world which donot have any showrooms, but still make millions Dollars sales by website only…?

But how can we know that we have a successful website? This can be only done by setting up Website Goals & Objectives against which we can measure the success of our website.

As with the website’s intended purpose, we have to get focused and have a clear and complete understanding of what we want this site to achieve.


With any general goal-setting we undertake, there must be some variables to set our goals on. Therefore, our goals must be:

    SPECIFIC: Describes what you want to accomplish with as much detail as possible.
    REALISTIC: Goals you know you are actually capable of obtaining.
    CHALLENGING: Takes energy and discipline to accomplish rewarding goals.
    PRIORITIZED: Sets goals by time and importance into clearly specified target completion dates.
    MEASURABLE: Describes your goals in terms that can clearly be evaluated.

Writing down your goals creates the road map to your success. Although just the act of writing them down can set the process in motion, it is also extremely important to review your goals frequently. Remember, the more focused you are on your goals; the more likely you are to accomplish them.

With respect to the development of your site, the principal question is:

What do you want this site to accomplish? (For you and your visitors)
Every website will have different objectives while every website owner will have set different goals for it. Any site will have varied reasons for existence. These could be:

• Product brand awareness
• To market detailed product information
• To target international communities
• Provide the latest new product or service information to customers
Market yourself
• To make money from an online business
• What are my response targets for 6 months and 12 months?
• What are my Web sales targets (ie as a percentage to total sales)?

SUMMARY:

• Be sure you know what you want your site to accomplish
• Write up the goals for your site
• Think of ways how you can measure the success of your site’s goals
