Design
Overview - Summary
Having a great
website can only be effective through proper planning.
Appropriate planning is fundamental to every website
undertaking of practically any nature.
To know why
you are having this website and what you want it to achieve,
are the two most important steps of the website conceptual
stage. These steps are all about defining and setting a
focus for your intended site.
It may seem
obvious to you but your visitor has to know exactly what
your site is about. Having a well defined theme reinforces
the focus of your site.
Knowing who
your site is for, we can set about providing quality content
(i.e. generally textual information) that our likely
audience will find beneficial. Content is the very substance
(essence) of a website and it's without doubt the most
important area of any site.
It's no use
however just to slap anything down to fill pages on your
site. Your web page content must be well written, functional
and styled to ensure its audience will find your site,
highly valuable to them.
Having a
website designed and operating online doesn't need to be
complex or costly but we do have to consider a preliminary
to know possible options before we start. It's a matter of
first deciding what you need over what you want.
Once you have
decided to start the web design planning process, it must be
understood proper planning does take time. It's vital to
start promptly to compile a meaningful plan for presentation
to your web designer for evaluating and estimating.
