Building a Website

An analysis of the website building process

Building a website is one of the most interesting projects that you will ever undertake. The website building process will involve you in graphics, copywriting, programming and demographics as well as a host of other topics. Website building spans many subject areas and requires a dedicated commitment of your time and effort. The range of knowledge you will need to cover may be vast but it is not as difficult to build a website as you might think. Follow me through this tutorial and I will introduce you to the world of website design.

The Rocketface® Workshop website building process

During the course of this tutorial, we'll be following a step-by-step process of building a website that ensures good quality in our site design. By approaching the building of a website in carefully controlled steps the job becomes quite manageable and the results will be very professional. Below is an outline of what I consider to be the ideal process of building a website.

The five step website building process

    1 - Analyze Website:
    The what, why and how of invisioning a concept for your website. Breaking down the purpose of your website and the audience you want to reach.

    2 - Organize Website:
    Making major decisions such as content, navigation and layout. Arranging your website into a whole and intelligently functioning unit that expresses your ideas.

    3 - Develop Website:
    Creating a working site outline and the nuts and bolts of construction. Working out the details and possibilities of your website.

    4 - Implement Website:
    Uploading your site to the web and fine tuning website performance. Carrying out the practical expression of your website through careful planning.

    5 - Maintain Website:
    How to keep your website up and running while you expand and fine tune it. How to maintain your website and it's character.

Build your own website!

Like I said earlier building your own website is a rewarding proposition. You need to be an artist, author, marketer and webmaster when building a website. You can learn how to do these things for free here on the Rocketface® Workshop. And, as you build your website you will be able to use your creativity in a myriad of ways.

Not only is building a website a creative outlet it also can provide a cash income from marketing your website or on-line advertising. Maybe you have a product or service that you would like to promote, building a website is a way to do it.

Even though it may seem like a daunting prospect building your own website is the only way to go if your funds are limited. However the rewards are great no matter what the reason you have for creating your website. Use your time instead of money. Build your own website!
