Combination websites

Planning a combination website
Think outside the box when planning your website - you never know what you might come up with.
When ideas come to you, be sure to ask yourself these questions:


"Will this be useful to the visitors coming to my website?"


"Will this flow with the themes and objectives of my website?"


"Could this potentially confuse confuse or alienate the type of visitors who will most likely be coming to my website?"


"Will this help me to grow my website?"


"Do I have the time, resources and knowledge to implement and maintain this new feature or application on my website?"


"What are my competitors (or others in my field) doing? Are the successful entities running combination websites?"


"Does this suit the type of image I want for my website?"

Although there's no such thing as a 'combination website' - you can combine things that are generally thought of as very different to each other on your website.

A business site may include community forums, or even a personal blog. The thinking behind this is to 'humanize' the business, and to build loyal support amongst members, readers and customers.

A travel website might allow customers to have their own holiday photo galleries.
