One of the hardest things I find about web-design is getting started. I know this should be easy but for me it is not. I have to ask myself what I want this site to do. Is it for a church, school, or some other organization, that just want to pass on information or is it for a company that want to sell a product. The next big question is who will be my audience? How can I get my audience to see what I see? Will I use graphics and pictures or text to pass my message to them? How does my audience relate to what I am doing, will they understand my language.
What I mean by this is should I use slang from my younger days? Example if I said, “this is a totally bitchin Produce” would they understand that meant a great product? If I just said this is great product would that be too bland? Setting the language and tone are very important.
Another thing that is important, will my message change on regular bases? After all that has been decided I am now ready to start designing my webpage. I first look for items that will not move like navigation bars and logos. Next, I place my most important message item in the center of my web page and work out from there.
