Before you do anything, consider this: why do you want a webpage? A webpage can be a lot of work, or at least take a lot of time. Are you going to have a page that is useful to anyone? You don't have to have a band, label, or zine to have a page, but you do have to have something interesting to offer. Also, your page should look good. If you have a page with a lot of useful information, people might not care that much if it doesn't look great. However, if your site doesn't have much in the way of content and it's ugly and hard to navigate, people will click away without a second thought.

So, consider:

  • Why do I want a site?
  • How much time do I have to devote to a site?
  • What audience will my site be geared to?
  • How often will I be able to update the site?
  • Can I offer something new, or something better than what is already out there?
