Things to consider when creating your website are the key features you want it to perform for you. I suggest making a list of features that fall into 3 categories: Absolute must haves, Would be really cool if, and Take it or Leave it.
Honestly, it all comes down to cost here. To have "all the things" will increase your monthly cost, sometimes by double or triple depending on the "things" and the platform that is chosen to best fit your needs. My job is to help you chose the platform that is best for you and your budget.
Finding other websites that match both style and functionality you're looking for will help any web developer ensure your web presence is well matched to you.
While considering your dynamic content, here are some standard pages to include:
Home
This is a landing page that we'll want to highlight different services you provide, possible a mission statement, or a current sale.
About us
Having a brief history of why you do what you do can give your clients a unique and fun insight into your brand. It can also help your clients connect with you on a deeper level.
Contact
This is where you'd have an address (if you have a storefront), phone number, and contact form. I rarely suggest actually listing an email address directly on your site as it gives solicitors an easier way to reach you.
Portfolio, Services and/or Shopping cart
Depending on the Services or Products you provide will help determine what is best here. Typically if you have products, especially ones with lots of variables like Size, Color, etc. It will be best to pick a platform, like Shopify, that specifically caters to selling products online. Their backend will be best suited to handle shipping, tax zones, inventory, and Data Analytics.
Beyond the standard pages, here are some other sample features:
Custom forms
This type of form goes beyond a contact form. These forms can also accept payments
Booking Appointments
Having the ability to book an appointment with you directly from your website can save you a lot of back and forth with the client.
Gallery
Images showcasing whatever you want really. Handy for artists, photographers, etc.
Events Calendar
Different than booking calendar. This Calendar is more for sharing when you'll be at live events.
As you can see there are many different things to consider in regard to your online presence. Let me know how I can help you in fine tuning your needs.
