Steps to creating a Website:
Create the WebPages, and put them Internet, Duh. Well there is more to
it than just that!
- Think about how your going to lay out your site. If your not sure
how you want it to look go to Internet, fund a site that looks nice to
you, and use it as a reference! Making it work for you:
- Achieve consistency in your Web site design.
- Develop a common look and feel to your pages.
- Develop a simple and consistent navigation
scheme.
- Avoid excessive or redundant pages.
- Draw/Bring your viewer to the most important
parts of a page.
- Don't litter your pages!
- Stick to a simple color palette for browser
compatibility.
- Keep to one or two fonts.
- Don't create pages that are too big for
640-by-480 screen.
- Use the browser cache intelligently, reuse
images on your site.
- Keep your content no more than three clicks
away from the home page.
- Try to keep your pages below three screens
each.
- Lets Talk Meta Tags.
- Now lets get down to creating your site! The only thing you really
need is a text editor like MS Notepad and a little know-how, and
you can get at my Site Development References.
- Now where to put the site? Well if you want it free go to my Free
Internet Stuff, or you can use some search
engines to find the Web Host that fits your needs!
- Now that you have downloaded your site to your Web Host, you can sit
back and wait for someone to find it - right? Wrong! Now you have to
tell the Internet where your site is, and what it's about! You did
read about Meta Tags didn't you? Well now
you need to register your site with search
engines!
- Creating a Website is a never ending process! Yes your Website is on
the Internet, but now it's time to go back, and look it over! I
constantly find changes to be made! Hope this has helped!
