What essential things need to consider while building a great web consumer based product

First of all, focus on the product, rather than the technology. When it comes to product, you need to identify a real customer pain or problem that is being unaddressed. The best source of inspiration are problems that you face for which you cannot find a solution.

To evaluate if this is a real problem, find others who have it. A good place to start for identifying how important a problem is to solve is with Abraham Maslow's hierarchy of needs.

After you have identified a real problem and solution, it is time to validate whether there is a business you can build around the solution.
