Contrary to popular belief, a great website and web presence requires more than an experienced and savvy web developer.  In order to create a website that is a valuable tool for the user, a lot of hard work is required not only from the web developer building your site, but also from you.  If you're building a website, be prepared to devote time, energy, and brain power to the project.  Your input is not only important in the design and development, but also to the site's content.  Only you can ensure that the best, most accurate and current information is presented to your website's audience.  While any good web developer will be more than willing to locate resources and help create content, ulitimately you know best what your company does.  So when beginning to plan out the build and development, make sure to allot yourself plenty of time to work on your website or think about establishing an individual or a team from your organization that will be responsible for your website.
