This article gives website creators 10 easy to follow steps for building a website. Step one is brainstorm a list of everything you want to put on your website. Step two tells you to take that list and group the items into categories. Step three suggests you should critique the categories you came up with in order to determine they make sense. Step four is revise your categories if needed. Step five recommends you develop a flow chart to help you organize the layout of your website and keep track of your pages. Similar to step five, step six proposes you develop a navigation plan that your audience will use to move around your site. Step seven is page layout. Step eight suggests you keep your website simple. Step nine; make your homepage which will be the introduction to your website. Step ten says you’re done, congratulate yourself.
To be honest, I think this article is pretty common knowledge. While the steps are easy to follow, they are really obvious suggestions like keep your site simple, organize it in a viewer friendly manner, and create your home/introduction page last. Obviously you would create your intro page last because you don’t know what will be on your site until you have given it some thought. I think anyone who was taught to write the introduction of an essay last would know to create their home/intro page of their website last. Steps five-seven are really repetitive and probably could have been condensed into one step. The only part of this article I actually liked was the part about grouping. I think that having things separated into news, class info, and for parents categories would be really helpful for my site viewers.
