A website is never finished

Avoid thinking about your website as something that will ever be finished, rather you need to think of how easily and cost effectively your website will evolve over time. You will need to add new pages, edit content, possibly consider a design face-lift, as well as make constant small improvements to keep up to date with the latest Internet developments, such as new web browsers.

The degree to which your website evolves will depend on the type of website you settle upon and where it fits into your business as a whole. If changes are frequent you should seriously consider a Content Management System (CMS).

A CMS allows you to update your website content yourself rather than paying web developers to make simple changes. Be aware that over time you may need to also spend money to keep the CMS itself up to date as technology changes.
