The process of creating a website consists of an ordered series of steps that will transform your dream into reality. Those steps can be identified as follows:
|
1 |
Select a team
to manage the development of your website- you'll need to
identify some individual or representative group within your
organization to make decisions about your website and also need to select a
website designer for them to work with. |
|
2 |
Identify the
goals that your website is intended to serve. |
|
3 |
Select an
available domain name for your site and register it with an
appropriate domain registry- you can check domain names for
availability in the web hosting area of our website. |
|
4 |
Choose a web
host and contract with them to host your site on their web server-
we offer web hosting services and may be able to meet your web
hosting needs. |
|
5 |
Determine the
basic architecture and organization of your site- these should
be selected to serve the intended purpose of the site. |
| 6 |
Choose the design elements that
control the look of your site, including common theme
elements, page layout, color scheme, etc. |
| 7 |
Select a navigation system-
the component of the site that provides a user interface for
moving around the site and finding what is desired. |
| 8 |
Determine the substantive content of your website-
what actually goes onto the website, how it is said and what
supporting graphic or other media are included. |
| 9 |
Construct the website- your
web designer implements the plan reached in steps 5 thru 8 by programming and scripting the pages of your site. |
| 10 |
Publish the website- the
completed website is made available to the Internet public by
placing it on a web server at an address tied to the domain name
you have selected for your site. |
| 11 |
Promote the website- index
the website on search engines and directories, set up links from
related sites, and market your site, so it can easily be found and
accessed by your intended audience. |
