Throughout it will be a collaboration - you will
be able to view the development of your site online and give feedback
throughout the process.
Step
1 - Planning and Gathering Information
Answering the following questions will help make decisions about the content and layout of your site:
What is the goal or purpose of your site - information, sales, education, etc.?
What
information will the site present - products, galleries, classes, bios, etc.?
Who is your intended
audience?
How will you interest viewers in your site? Identify what makes you stand out.
What is your budget?
Basic - Need help with basic site Standard - Would like to customize look of basic site and have some functionality. Professional - Need functionality such as forms, shopping cart. Would like some flash animation, customized banners, etc.
From this information I can begin to figure out
the best structure and navigation for the content of the site and an estimate of the time involved.
Step 2
- Design Considerations I will work with your input on the following to
develop the look of the site:
· Layout -
Where and how things are placed on each page · Navigation bar - position on page,
links, colors, attributes · Banner - Title, name, and/or logo · Images - Good quality, properly sized and
compressed images · Background - color, texture, and/or pattern · Type - font, size, color · Interactive Forms - registration, questionnaire,
etc. · Multimedia - music, video, animations,
slideshows · Accessability - Not all computers see websites
the same way, are able to download all functions or work at the same
speed. Your targeted clientele will guide decisions.
