How to design a successful website

Generally, beginners can learn how to make web pages after a short period of learning, so they think that web page making is very simple, and they rush to make their own website. But after they compare it with others, they find that their website is very rough. Why? As the saying goes, "Hot tofu cannot be eaten in haste". Building a website is like building a building. It is a systematic project with its own specific workflow. You can only design a satisfactory website by following this step step by step.

1、 Determine site theme

Website theme is the main content of your website, and a website must have a clear theme. Especially for personal websites, you can't do as much as comprehensive websites to cover everything. You don't have this ability and energy, so you must find the content you are most interested in, do it deeply and thoroughly, and create your own characteristics, so as to leave a deep impression on users. The theme of the website has no rules. As long as it is of interest to you, any content can be used, but the theme should be clear. The content within your theme should be large, comprehensive, refined and deep.

2、 Collect materials

After you have identified the theme of the website, you should start collecting materials around the theme. As the saying goes, "A skillful woman cannot make bricks without straw". To make your website flesh and blood and attract users, you should try to collect materials. The more materials you collect, the easier it will be to create a website in the future. Materials can be obtained from books, newspapers, CDs, multimedia, or collected from the Internet, and then the collected materials can be used as the materials for making your own web pages.

3、 Planning website

The success of a website design largely depends on the planning level of the designer. Planning a website is like a designer designing a building. A beautiful building can be built only after the drawings are designed. The website planning includes many contents, such as the structure of the website, the setting of columns, the style of the website, the color matching, the layout, the use of text and pictures, etc. Only when you take these aspects into consideration before making the website can you be proficient in making the website. Only in this way can the webpage be personalized, distinctive and attractive. How to plan each specific content of the website will be described in detail below.

4、 Select the appropriate production tool

Although what kind of tool you choose will not affect the quality of your web design, a powerful and simple software can often achieve twice the result with half the effort. There are many tools involved in web page production. The first one is web page production tools. At present, most netizens use WYSIWYG editing tools. Of course, the best ones are Dreamweaver and Frontpage. If you are a beginner, Frontpage2000 is the first choice.

There are many software in this field on the Internet, which you can use flexibly according to your needs.

5、 Make Web Page

With the materials and tools available, we need to turn our ideas into reality step by step according to the plan. This is a complex and detailed process, and we must make them in accordance with the principle of "big before small, simple before complex". The so-called "big before small" means that when making a web page, first design the big structure, and then gradually improve the small structure design. The so-called simple before complex is to design simple content first, and then design complex content, so that problems can be easily modified. We should use more flexible templates when making web pages, which can greatly improve the production efficiency.

After the web page is created, it must be published to the web server finally, so that it can be viewed by friends all over the world. There are many tools to upload now. Some web page creation tools have FTP functions. With these FTP tools, you can easily publish the website to the home page storage server you apply for. After uploading the website, you should open your website in the browser, test page by page and link by link, find problems, modify them in time, and then upload the test. After all the tests, you can tell your friends your website and let them browse it.

7、 Promotion

After the website is completed, we should continue to promote it, so that more friends can know it and improve the visit rate and popularity of the website. There are many ways to promote, such as registering in search engines, exchanging links with other websites, and joining the advertising chain.

8、 Maintenance updates

The website should pay attention to maintaining and updating the content frequently, keep the content fresh, and do not leave it unchanged once it is well done. Only by constantly adding new content to it can it attract visitors
