Default Indeed, it is the best way.

The introduction is best written after the body of a piece. A famous professor I studied under many years ago divided our major research project into three parts and gave equal grades for each part. First was our bibliography, which for most of us was devastating because he crossed out most of our sources as unreliable and unacceptable. In our case (websites), we must have excellent content for our sites to be worthwhile. Second was our outline. In that case he again crossed out many of our points as irrelevant! Finally came the paper.

The point here is that only after working hard on the content and shaping it into a good structure (site plan) is it possible to write a good introduction anyway. If we write one earlier we will have to rewrite no doubt. And in most cases we probably will, several times, no matter what.
