Web Design

Websites

The first steps to designing a website are to liaise with the client. The client can give you a full brief as to what they expect to see within their website. Fro here the designer/developer and build the site as they see fit. The next stage will be to show the client and get there 'sign off' so that you can go ahead and actually build the site.

Many clients will provide content for the website. With this content you can start building the site and placing the text or images in the correct place. This will be done using CSS, which allows the designer/developer to determine where they want certain parts of the page positioning.

HTML is then used to bring the site together. This is the underlying code for the website and it is here you put the content, along with the commands which utilise the positioning you have set up previously in the style sheet (CSS).

The site will need to have a URL (web address). Once this is done, the site can be attached to the web address. The website design and content can then be viewed by the general public.
