Step Two: Create all Web Pages Needed for the Web Site
I use the latest version of Macromedia's Dreamweaver, one of the industry's standard web design softare. |
This section involves all of the basic aspects of web design, including using tables, layers and cascading style sheets to organize the look and feel of the site. I also create or add graphics to help with visual appeal, as well as spell checking, adding basic metatags and more. I design all web sites with search engine optimization in mind, so when I go through and optimize an already built web page, it's already close to being done. Here's the ste-by-step process I follow:
- Web Design
- Create the Web pages
- Add / create text as needed to create pages that make sense to a visitor
- For Ecommerce Sites:
- Create and configure the shopping cart
- Add the categories and products
- Create related static web pages for each category and sometimes even individual products
- Test the shopping cart for accuracy
- Name each graphic and web page correctly so it can be identified easily
- Add or create more graphics so the page makes sense
- Create internal links to other pages as I create each page
- Create the basic site metatags: page title, description of page, keywords.
- Read all of the text, find more keywords and spell check.
- Preview finished page in Internet Explorer, Netscape and Firefox.
