We are going to list the stages you will have to go through and the nuances worth paying attention to.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, how do you design a website? First of all, analyze your competitors, understand what they do and how they sell. Website development will not automatically increase sales. If you have a small <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/weblium.com\/create-hair-salon-website\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">beauty salon<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or a small pizzeria, social media pages are more suitable for you, which are easier to promote and less expensive.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_steps_of_website_design_to_follow\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">7 steps of website design to follow<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Several specialists are engaged in designing a web page: a designer, a layout designer, a programmer. Copywriters and content managers fill sites with texts, and marketers promote the page after it was made. The project manager is in charge of the entire process.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can contact a specialist who will assemble a turnkey website for you and even find all the employees required for the project. Or you can also try to become a project manager yourself and hire a team of specialists. If you are interested in web design steps, here they are:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 1. Determining the purpose of creating a site and the type of site.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 2. Thinking over the structure of the site.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 3. Preparing the site content.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 4. Checking the usability of the site.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 5. Creating the design.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 6. Getting down to layout.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 7. Launching the website.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the first glance, these website design steps seem pretty simple. Nevertheless, it is worth taking a look at each of them separately to be fully aware you understand each.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Determine_the_purpose_of_creating_a_website\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Determine the purpose of creating a website<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To begin with, you should decide on the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/${domain}\/blog\/what-is-the-purpose-of-a-website-does-your-website-have-a-purpose\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">purpose of creating a website<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. There are usually two types of sites &#8211; commercial and non-commercial.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you plan to attract customers with the help of the site, then your goal is definitely commercial. This means that the functionality of the site must be appropriate: an order form, a product catalog, a shopping cart, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you get most of your orders from sources other than your site, it\u2019s most likely that you have non-commercial goals. Then you can make, for example, a news portal or <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/weblium.com\/create-blog-website\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">a blog<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which will inform people about interesting events related to your product.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Then, try to identify the tasks that the site should solve. For example:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">placing an order;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">collecting customer contacts;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">posting downloadable materials <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2014<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for example, product catalogs;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">advising clients before buying;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">repeating sales.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Choose_the_type_of_site\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Choose the type of site<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The type of site depends on its functions <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2014<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> selling, introducing a product, or simply entertaining your customers, working for the company&#8217;s image. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/${domain}\/blog\/types-of-websites-with-guides-and-examples\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this article<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, we <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">will help you to quickly and easily understand types of websites with examples. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are some popular website types you can choose from.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Online store<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Its main difference is that you can select a product, add it to the cart and buy it right on the spot. To do this, the possibilities for registration and creating an account must be provided. That way, the customers can not only pay for the order conveniently but also track it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Each product will need a card with a photo and description. To enable payments by card, you will need to connect payment systems. You can also add the option to set discounts &#8211; for example, to arrange a sale for a holiday.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Service website<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you do not need to sell products, then you can simply design a web page with several categories. This website type is suitable for a beauty salon, a caf\u00e9, or a medical clinic. The main services of the company may be described on several pages.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Business card website<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/weblium.com\/business-card-websites\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">small site<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, often a one-page site, that contains the most basic company information and contacts. This could be the portfolio of a specialist, such as a lawyer or a photographer. Or it may be the presentation of one understandable service: a salt room, a solarium, or even a one-time event <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2014<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> an exhibition or a concert.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Company or corporate website<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unlike a business card, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/weblium.com\/create-small-business-website\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">this kind of portal<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> consists of several pages: the menu can include pages of the second and third levels. It&#8217;s suitable for posting more information. It may contain a product catalog, company news, information about completed projects and partners.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Portal, news blog<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Its main goal is to give information in an engaging way. On such sites, you can usually find many articles, texts, photos, and videos.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Forum<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It will be useful if customers have a lot of questions related to your products and services. Little by little, a small community may even form around your business. But actually, now forums are often replaced by groups and chats on social networks.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let&#8217;s now proceed to our website design guide itself.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Thinking_over_the_structure_of_the_site\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thinking over the structure of the site<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now that you understand the site types, you can think about the structure of a future site. This is a kind of site page layout. You can even do it on paper. In order for search engines to display the site at the top of search results, follow these recommendations:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make it possible to get to the home page from any page. For example, using the site header and logo, which you can always click on.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don&#8217;t forget about buttons with which you can go back one step from any page on the site. For example, in a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/weblium.com\/create-clothing-website\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">clothing store<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, go from the page of a specific dress back to the general catalog.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Preparing_site_content\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Preparing site content<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before launching the site, it is worth preparing <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/weblium.com\/blog\/how-to-write-website-copy-in-2023\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the content<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, that is, texts, photos, and videos so that the pages are not empty. You can do it yourself or delegate to specialists <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2014<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> copywriters and content managers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here&#8217;s what to look out for:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The texts must be unique. Do not copy articles from competitors&#8217; sites or pages from Wikipedia.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Photos and videos shouldn&#8217;t be too heavy. For example, the size of one photo should not exceed 1 MB. Some CMS will automatically compress photos or allow you to do it when loading. If there is no such option, you can optimize the photo online using various converters or with the help of graphic editors such as Adobe Photoshop.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Checking_the_usability_of_the_site\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Checking the usability of the site<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Usability analysis can be carried out after the launch of the site to make it as user-friendly as possible. But even before starting, you should make sure of the following:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The site font is not too small.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are not too many pop-ups that prevent the user from seeing the main information on the page.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are special buttons that can be used to return to the previous page at any time.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From the main page, the user can easily get to secondary pages, for example, with a product catalog.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The user can find all the necessary information about payment, delivery, return, and contacts.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The maximum simplicity is now a trend. It is commonly considered that the user should make no more than 2 clicks from the moment of entering the site to the target action, for example, clicking the &#8220;Add to cart&#8221; button. If the path is longer, you may lose some customers.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Creating_the_design\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Creating the design<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you use systems like WordPress, or use a website builder, you can choose a design from <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/weblium.com\/templates\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ready-made free templates<\/span><\/a> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2014<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> it&#8217;s as easy as changing the screensaver on your phone. If you want to add personality to your site, you&#8217;ll have to dig into the basics of HTML and CSS, or just make some simple changes in case of using a website builder. Then the template can be modified to suit your needs: change the header of the site, change the colors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make sure to check how the site will look on different devices <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2014<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> regular computers, tablets, and mobile phones. If your page is inconvenient to view from a smartphone, you may lose about a half of your sales. The good news is that templated sites are usually mobile-friendly.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Layout\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Layout<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you developed the site layout yourself, you will need to write a code for it. This is usually done by layout designers and programmers. When evaluating their work, check if the result matches the layout.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Launching_the_site\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Launching the site<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/${domain}\/blog\/website-launch-checklist\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">launching<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, you need to test with the help of a browser whether everything is working correctly, and only after that open access to everyone. When the domain is registered, hosting is paid, the site is checked for operability, it is transferred to the server. This is the final stage of development.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Conclusion<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The creation of a selling site is a rather laborious process that requires well-coordinated work of many specialists, from programmers, designers, layout designers, SEO specialists, marketers, copywriters, etc. When starting a business on the Internet, try to combine the development process with promotion, take into account the need for adaptive design, and also lay the functionality necessary for your resource.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to start web designing?
