Today's most exciting news is the revolutionary,
explosive growth of the World Wide Web and the Internet.
Did you know that there will be an estimated 50 million
users on the Internet by the end of 1998 with 40 million
of them in the United States alone? Or that over 10.4 million
people surf the Internet weekly with over 69% of them earning
over $30,000 a year and that over 70% have graduated or
attended college? Statistics such as these
are only a small part of the necessary information you need
to know when first creating a web site.
The process of designing a web site can be
broken down into several flexible steps:
Discuss
Communication is the key to begining a successful web venture.
This phase allows me to provide you with more specific information
regarding your proposed project.
Plan
A Web Site can develop into quite a complex project. You
count on your web site designer to help develop solutions
and to present multiple paths. Planning out the core concepts
behind the web site help keep everything on track later
on down the line. During this stage, you should gather the
documents you need posted on your website.
Collect
Once the direction of the site has been established, I can
begin collecting the content you would like to have online.
This is also an excellent time to identify important information
that should be made prominent to the site's visitors.
Design
At this point, I have all or enough of the content to begin
drafting design concepts and solutions. Once you have approved
the overall look of your site, I can begin merging content
into the thematic shell of your web site.
Implement
From assembly to error checking to cross browser analysis,
it will all be taken care of. These are the kind of surprises
no one likes.
Evaluate
While at the end of the list, this step is by no means relegated
to the end. Evaluation should come frequently in the
form of feedback throughout the course of the project.
