The “Must Have” for 2008: Every Company and Organization Should Have A Web Strategist

December 2nd, 2007

Every business has a plan, right? Some aim to make money and some want to find world peace. Whatever your goals are, you need a strategy to achieve them. Whether your business is strictly online or completely offline, a website is no longer a good-to-have item. A website is a necessity and a strategy for your website or web product is equally as important.
That’s where a Web Strategist comes into play.
A Web Strategist is responsible for defining the near- and long-term direction of your website. In order to succeed at this, they must have a keen understanding of your business, your customers, and the tools that are available to help you.
This is how it works.
Whether you are an established business looking to leverage your know brand assets, a small-sized company who needs to adapt to the internet or a new startup looking to quickly get up and running, a Web Strategist asks three crucial questions:

What is your website’s purpose and who is your audience?
How will your website get enduring results?
Will your audience find what they need?

The bottom line is that a fancy design alone isn’t going to define your company. Or a new marketing strategy. Or a better interface. It’s only when you consider all these elements simultaneously that you have the power to reshape your business into something enduring and category defining.
In today’s internet landscape, it’s essential for forward-thinking developers to conceive new ideas that strategically speak to your audience. A Web Strategist asks a lot of questions, they study how your audience uses the internet, and they learn about your industry.
