Planning for a new Drupal site

Proper planning for a new site can save you countless hours of frustration. I find creating a list of features you want, and not getting into specifics (like what modules) gives you a better vision for the site. Then you can go about finding the modules that meet your requirements. I am planing a site for people that pour there own plastic fishing lures (talk about a tiny niche!) Here is my quick list of features I am aiming for.

  • Classifieds
  • Forums
  • Video Tutorials
  • Photo Gallery
  • Social Networking

Then I try to figure out the best way to generate revenue on the site, this one is pretty straight forward most of the time but here is my list anyways:

  • Google Ads
  • Yahoo Ads
  • Amazon Affiliate
  • Ebay Affiliate
  • Sell ad space

That is a good list to start from, now I have to go research how I want to implement the features above.
