Poll: Do you set goals for your websites?

Thursday January 1, 2009

I don't mean goals for you when you're building a site, but rather goals for how you want your sites to perform. I believe that goals are an important way to achieve success, as they force you to measure your site and determine ways to evaluate how you're doing. I set goals for nearly every site I build. Some are modest - like "keep the customers I have" and some are extreme like "increase monetization by 300% by 2010." But by setting goals for my websites I keep trying to improve them. Do you set goals for your websites?

I think goals are definitely importnat, but setting realistic reach goals can be difficult. Since I do web design for other companies I usually try and work with them to set goals for what they would like to achieve and then together we create a plan for accomplishing that.
