After site planning, Website Design Those who have a general understanding of the website they are going to do will begin to design the website. When designing a website, the first problem is to determine the theme of the website. The so-called theme is also the theme of the website. The website theme on the network is various and dazzling. As long as you can think of it, you can make it.
1、 Determine the columns and sections of the website
The design site should first draw up an outline, so that the selected article can have a clear theme and level. It's like building a community. First of all, we should design the structural drawings of the whole community to make the structure of the community reasonable. The most common mistake that beginners make is that they immediately start to produce after determining the subject matter. When they finish producing page by page, they find that the website structure is not clear, the directory is numerous, and the content is one piece after another. As a result, not only did the visitors get confused, but it was also quite difficult to expand and maintain the website by themselves, so most websites gave up halfway, and what's worse, beginners lost confidence and interest in making home pages! Therefore, we must consider the following three aspects before starting to create a web page. (1) Determine columns and sections. (2) Determine the directory structure and link structure of the site. (3) Determine the overall style and creative design of the website.
2、 Establish site directory structure
The site directory refers to the directory created by the user when creating the site. When designing a site, you should first create a folder in a partition disk of the computer as a starting point, and then create several subfolders under the folder to form a reasonable directory structure so that different types of folders can be stored in the site. The site directory refers to the directory you created when you created the site. For example, when ProntPage98 is used to create a website, the root directory and the Images subdirectory are created by default. The structure of the directory is an easily ignored problem. Most webmasters create subdirectories without planning. The quality of the directory structure does not give much impression to the visitors, but it has an important impact on the upload maintenance of the site itself and the future expansion and migration of the content. Here are some suggestions for establishing directory structure.
(1) Do not store all files in the root directory. Because this will cause adverse effects such as chaotic file management and slow upload speed, it is recommended that users reduce the number of files stored in the root directory as much as possible.
(2) Create sub directories according to column contents. To create a subdirectory, first click the main menu column. For example, web tutorial sites can set up corresponding directories according to technical categories, such as Flash, Dhtml, JavaScript, etc; The enterprise website can establish the corresponding directory according to the company profile, product introduction, price, online order, feedback contact, etc. Other secondary columns, such as what's new, have a lot of friendship links. If you need to update frequently, you can create an independent directory. Some columns that are highly relevant and do not need to be updated frequently. For example, the website, webmaster and website experience can be merged into a unified directory. All programs are generally stored in a specific directory. For example, CGI programs are placed in the cgi bin directory. It is convenient for maintenance and management, and all content to be downloaded should also be placed in a directory.
(3) Create an independent Images directory under each home directory. Generally, by default, there is a default Images directory under the root directory of a website. It is inconvenient to store all the picture departments in this directory. For example, when deleting a file column, the picture processing is quite troublesome, so it is necessary to create an independent Images directory for the main column of each file.
(4) The level of other directories should not be too complex, generally no more than 3 levels. 1) Do not use Chinese directory names. Using Chinese directory names may cause difficulties for the correct display of web addresses. 2) Do not use too long directory names, which are not easy to remember. 3) Try to use the directory name with clear meaning to facilitate memory and management. Use simple English words or Chinese Pinyin and their abbreviations as the directory name.
