• Determine the goals for the website from the perspective of the user and the business.
• Determine the user needs and target usability requirements.

"One of the biggest problems with b-to-b Web sites is that the marketers who design them are not seeing their sites as a resource but as more of a promotional experience," said Hoa Loranger, a user experience specialist at Web usability company Nielsen Norman Group. "For a business customer, the Web site is often a starting point to see if they want to include your company on a short list. They don't have patience or time to waste."
