  3. I agree that the website name is one of the most important aspects of a website. Next time, you might want to consider giving some examples of a "poor design" website. All in all, you did a very good job on detailing the steps involved with creating a website.

  4. Good work. One thing that is very important for a website is time. I have created a couple myself and noticed that time was the biggest factor for everything. So your right in saying you need to make sure that is not a problem. And good point in saying that you really need to buckle down a good search engine strategy. If no one can find you, then you just wasted all your time creating the perfect website. Great job.

  5. I found it very interesting that key words were so important in website design. That's such a small aspect that can make a large difference. Try incorporating bullet points or another eye catching mechanism in your design, it will draw people in. Your post was very thorough! Great work.
