Because a few people have been asking me for some basics, here is an outline of the steps to build a simple website. Next, I’ll be going more in-depth into each step, linking to examples and/or a web tutorial with steps on exactly how do to it. For now, it’s just an outline.

Step I: Ideation: Coming up with the idea
Step II: Requirements Gathering: Figuring out what kind of website it is, who will visit and what they’ll do there
Step II: Information Architecture: Organizing the site, with your visitors in mind
Step III: Visual Design: Making it look right
Step IV: Build: Turning design ideas into coded pages
Step V: Hosting & Launching: Putting it on the internet
Appendix: General Best Practices & Techniques
