Planning is the stage of choosing among competing opportunities for communication so that you can set overall goals for a site. You'll need to define your site's intended audience, formulate a statement of your site's purpose, and objective, and gather and maintain domain information to support your site.
As a web site planner, you need to anticipate the skills and resources needed for developing, constructing, deploying, and operating the site. For example, if a site's design includes a specification for forms (a feature supported by HTML), you should note that web site implementors should have skills in HTML forms as well as CGI (Common Gateway Interface) programming and possibly JAVA programming.
