Planning and Building a Successful Website

Before you begin
Planning a Website is a 2 part process

Planning Your Website
Web sites are developed by groups of people to meet the needs of other groups of people.

Developing a Site Specification
The site specification is the planning team's concise statement of core goals, values, and intent, to provide the ultimate policy direction for everything that comes next.

Website Definition and Planning
This initial stage is where you define your goals and objectives for the Web site and begin to collect and analyze the information you'll need to justify the budget and resources required.

Website Development Process
Every significant Web project poses unique challenges, but the overall process of developing a complex Web site generally follows six major stages

Information Architecture
At this stage you need to detail the content and organization of the Web site.

Website Design
At this stage the project acquires its look and feel, as the page grid, page design, and overall graphic design standards are created and approved.

Website Construction
Only at this mature stage of the project are the bulk of the site's Web pages constructed and filled out with content.

Website Marketing
Your Web site should be an integral part of all marketing campaigns and corporate communications programs, and the URL for your site should appear on every piece of correspondence and marketing collateral your organization generates.

Website Tracking & Maintenance
An abundance of information about visitors to your site can be recorded with your Web server software.

Website Interface Design
USERS OF WEB DOCUMENTS don't just look at information, they interact with it in novel ways that have no precedents in paper document design.

Website Design Main
THE DESIGN OF THE SITE will determine its organizational framework. At this stage you will make the tactical design decisions about what your audience wants from you, what you wish to say, and how to arrange the content to best meet your audience's needs.

Website Page Design
We seek clarity, order, and trustworthiness in information sources, whether traditional paper documents or Web pages. Effective page design can provide this confidence.

Website Typography
TYPOGRAPHY is the balance and interplay of letterforms on the page, a verbal and visual equation that helps the reader understand the form and absorb the substance of the page content.
