Before you start; determine what you want your website to do. From the online brochure we mentioned to a sales and marketing machine. Your website can become you best salesperson.
HubSpot defines a website taxonomy as, “the structure used for a website that organizes content in a logical manner so users can easily navigate the site and understand its purpose. Visually, this may look like different sections and pages within a website, or categories within a blog.”
A well-designed website should have a goal and a purpose. The taxonomy will clarify your site’s goals before you start designing or creating content. This is an essential step in planning any website, by deciding precisely what you want your site to do and then mapping it out, to reinforce your goals that becomes a part of your sales process.
There are many variables in building a website so it’s tough to get a quick estimate. To get a precise estimate, you’ll need to know exactly what you want your website to do. Do you want:

From there a solid estimate and timeline can be developed.
