9 Step Web Design
So, you have thoughts of doing a site? Great!
But do you want to know how to produce a site
where visitors will say WOW! Read On.
1. Imagine of a theme, idea.
What do you desire to make your site about? When
you do this, also think as a visitor and why would
you come to your site? You have to offer something
that people want and need. When you'll be clear
about what you want to do, proceed to the next
step.
2. You got an idea of your future site.
Is that sufficient for a site? The answer is NO.
Now you have to think of a layout, colors, and
content. Colors are crucial, because if you'll
mix the wrong ones, it might be hard for visitor
to interpret your content, which is the heart
of your site, and then he'll leave, since he knows
that there are hundreds of sites like this on
the web. It's optional to draw your content on
a sheet of paper or in an image file.
3. Find a hosting company.
If you don't want to expend any money, there are
lost of sites that will host your site for free
even though most of them place a banner or a pop
up on your page, which from time to time might
look unprofessional. After all, it's entirely
free. But if you run a business, you ought to
get your own http://www.you.com domain. It costs
only 70 dollars for two years, so it's not actually
that costly, and it really worth it.
4. Start scripting your first page.
You have to know at least fundamentals of HTML
to create an excellent site. You don't need to
memorize all the tags and formats but you got
to know how and what is HTML. Even though there
are hundreds “What You See Is What You Get”
editors, you'll be able to generate a better site
with the basic acquaintance of HTML.
5. Take a look at your page.
Never forget the subsequent factors: 1. Does it
load fast? 2. Does your site have an easy navigation?
3. Is your grammar and spelling is correct? 4.
Do you have something that people need or find
useful? These are few of the most significant
factors in each site. A lot of people overlook
them, and their site becomes unattractive and
not worthwhile. Even though your page is one the
web, it doesn't mean that you can spell wrong
or provide poor content.
6. Redo your page!
90% of people after they look at their first draft
find many errors. Redo your page and then look
at it again. Go after step 5. It would be very
helpful if you would show your page to some friends
or family. They can become aware of something,
that you didn't find. There are some clubs on
Yahoo which focus on critiquing pages.
7. Start creating all other pages.
Don't get perplexed in them, and follow the code
of a tree. It's suggested that all of your pages
follow some basic outline or format.
8. Take a look at your site.
Repeat step 5. Looks good? Grand. Upload it to
your host. Now it's the time for you to start
endorsing your site. Or else, how will people
are going to be able to find it?
9. You finished with all 8 steps.
Now you are waiting for visitors to come. Does
it mean that you are complete with the web site?
That you can overlook it? Once again, that is
not the case. The web site is a cycle. It's not
a newspaper which you issue once and then forget
it. People will start coming to your site for
a while, but the purpose is to keep them coming
back. How to do that? Update your site at least
once in two weeks, have something practical and
appealing on your site.
