This is something that often times gets overlook in the excitement of a new project. Many people don’t think about if they are starting their project at the right time. So lets list a few times that it is critical not to start a new project:
- During the winter Holidays: Lots of new businesses and sole proprietors will attempt to start their businesses and web projects during this time. The problem is that most employees (yours and your web firms) are taking much needed time to spend with loved ones and travel. This causes delays, rushed work, and worst of all poor communication that can really hamper your projects beginning.
- Right after internal staff changes – This goes for both you and your web firm’s staff with the exception of promotions in the web firm. Major staffing holes in companies delay day to day operation and cause large amounts of stress. Don’t cause another problem by starting your site now.
- When you’re not ready to start the site. This is obvious, but not always adhered too. I’ve seen companies start new websites while still developing their logo, not having content ready, and even while still identifying who there target market is. Talk about nightmare.
