How is a website build ?

Well-designed websites offer much more than just aesthetics. They attract visitors and help people understand the product, company, and branding through a variety of indicators, encompassing visuals, text, and interactions. That means every element of your site needs to work towards a defined goal.

Steps

1- Choose a goal for your website

Your need to define a goal for you or your business.

Some examples, but it can be multiple:

• Take your business online: If you have an existing business, you can start a website to promote your business and get new customers online.
• Share your expertise: You can create online courses, blogs, and more so other people can benefit from your experience and knowledge.
• Connect with New People – A website of your own can help you connect with other like-minded people from all over the world.
• Create income: By selling products online, with affiliate marketing, etc.

This goal should inform every design and content decision you make. Every website question can be solved by asking: 'will this help us accomplish our goal?'

2- Define the scope and the budget

Once we know the site's goals, we can define the scope of the project. I.e., what web pages and features the site requires to fulfill the goal, and the timeline for building those out.

3- Define the site structure

With the scope well-defined, we can start digging into the sitemap, defining how the content and features we defined in scope definition will interrelate.

4- Prepare the content

Think about what you want your customers to be able to do via your website. This will help you work out what sections or pages you want to include. Consider what information or transactions your customers will want and make sure the site is structured to make it easy for them to find and do the things they need.

5- Visual elements

With the site architecture and some content in place, we can start working on the visual brand. Depending on the client, this may already be well-defined, but you might also be defining the visual style from the ground up. Tools like style tiles, moodboards, and element collages can help with this process.

6- Validating and testing the website

By now, you've got all your pages and defined how they display to the site visitor, so it's time to make sure it works. Combine manual browsing of the site on a variety of devices with automated site crawlers to identify everything from user experience issues to simple broken links.

7- Launch

Once the website is ready and tested, it's time to publish it! This should include planning both launch timing and communication strategies — i.e., when will you launch and how will you let the world know?
