1. 15 Website Design Steps for Setting Up a Good Website
To build a good web site that is remembered by
most internet users is little tactful. Creating a
unique and fresh site that stands out to be the best
ever - is no joke. There are certain basics that one
must be aware of: the layout, structure, design of
the website depends on the type of business it has
been set up for.
A number of elements are recounted by us during
the process of its development that needs to be
added. Other factors are based upon clients’
requirements and needs.
Below are some steps, effective in the development of a good web site:
Step 1: Meet up
To know your web developers, it is best to meet them and get in contact. So that you get
to know their potential, capability and work style. Helping in establishing an
understanding. Discuss on what needs to be done, how and what’s best. Exchange
contact numbers to be in touch with the right person.
Step 2: Ask Questions
To know how will the hired web developers be working on your site, ask questions like:
How will they plan out the website design? Who can be or are your competitors? Who are
the target audience? What are the important factors for your website? How long will the
process take? Will it be a local, national or international website? What web pages and
sections are to be included?
(The best way to plan out your site would be through a flow chart.)
Step 3: Wireframe
Most people are ignorant about what is a wireframe. It is a necessary element for a web
developer which is like a sketch or an outline drawing of the layout of a website with all
the points that are to be included. Helping the web developer to keep a check on what is
inserted in the website and what is supposed to be inserted. A wireframe has its own
format of header, body (sub-sections included) and footer. It works like a blueprint of a
web site design, helping you to look in for all the missing factors at times you get stuck.
Step 4: Plan the Content
After discussing the basic points of sketching out the wireframe. It’s time to plan out the
content, the most important of them all. Content is the king. So it needs to be written

2. well. Generally, either the client or an outsider writes the content and sends it across to
the web developers’ team. Therefore, it can take a lot of your work time. Make sure that
you include every detail about your product, business or service and lead in the
competition with others.
Step 5: Get Started
While the content is being written. Web developers can start developing the layout of the
homepage. Once it’s approved, it will be easy for them to develop the rest of the web
pages as well.
Step 6: Get client feed back
After your homepage is ready, get it reviewed by the client and get their feedback on it.
As their opinion is very valuable. See that you meet their expectations and are on the
right track.
Step 7: Do Modifications
There will be times, a website design company will have to re-work and make required
changes in the website. It is the company’s responsibility on how many times do they
have to re-work and what extra fees they will charge.
Step 8: Approval
After the homepage is reviewed for the first time and all the required changes have been
done, it is necessary that everything has been approved by the client. If they are
satisfied and happy it points towards a successful start.
Step 9: Start Work on Web Pages
Once the homepage has been given the green signal, start working on the rest of the
web pages.
Step 10: Clients Approval Needed
The clients' approval is mandatory so that you can start with the actual coding process.
Because if there are any changes or updates to be done, it is recommendable they be
done before the coding process. Once the coding process begins it takes quite long to
make changes and update them later on.
Step 11: Convert Designs into a Web Site
Start converting the designed layouts on web pages with the help of HTML and CSS, etc.
It is advisable that your web site is built to be SEO friendly. Therefore include title tags,
keywords, and search-able content.

if there are any. Try to make it as error free as you can. Ensure the site is completely
ready for release.
Step 13: Double Check
Make sure to test the website and its performance on various browsers. Check for
spelling mistakes, keywords, functionality, etc. For a flawless website check it three to
four times.
Step 14: Launch
Now is the time to go live. After you have launched the website, make it a point to check
the website everyday for some weeks and ask your friends and relatives to also review it
and give their suggestions.

on improving your website regularly to stay in the competition.
