What should be done at the very beginning by those who want to open their magazine online, or a workshop where they will show their work (and in time - and sell)? Of course, think about the form and content of the site.
And if the content is strictly determined by the tasks (the representation of the needlewoman or mummy on the web or a large portal with interesting articles), then the form can be very different!
Now everyone makes sites on CMS - ready systems, allowing to place materials. And this - thousands and thousands of ready-made templates, and among them there will probably be almost a dozen suitable topics for your chosen site.
To create your site with an interesting, beautiful design, you will need self-help manuals, and then tips of experienced webmasters.
Choosing a CMS
- If this is a blog or a catalog of articles in which they are planned to be discussed - take Wordpress.
- If you want to immediately get down to a commercial site, it's easier than Joomla, perhaps, only special paid CMS, but it's not always necessary to spend it on them.
Beautiful and simple CMS often cost money. Or you'll have to get a good look at the templates, look for the right one.
Choose a template: tips
- Choose a template that is initially suitable for the purposes and tasks of the site.
- Look at the prospective competitors sites of your subject: how they organized the structure and what template they use.
- Think about the structure before you start looking for a suitable template.
On the Internet, entire warehouses are ready-made options, and to sort out all these Augean stables "the newest and most interesting design of the site" you will not help any self-instruction manual, in extreme cases ask for advice from the same webmasters as you want to become.
How to "make beautiful"?
"Webdevalnost" is still in fashion. So, it is less than small details, it is less than load. Help the user (and you almost certainly will make a website for women?) To understand what you meant. Let the site initially look somewhat "empty".
In the future, create a beautiful site with an interesting design will help self-helpers and tips. Hanging beautiful buttons on the site, organizing the design of the menu, each separate page is quite simple.
In any case, you have to conquer the "cap" of the site. After all, the title and background for it (as an option - a thematic picture) is what the users will see first. And this primarily determines their decision: to leave or stay and read.
A good design is not necessarily super-sleek and expensive design from a professional. Think about design of a site as about a hairdress: it is possible, certainly, to make the original and surprising construction on a head, but how it to carry in a usual life? Extravagance is needed on holidays, but at work you need to work :)
Do not disdain the help of professionals, their advice - sometimes to create a beautiful site helps an interesting design, which self-teachers do not teach. Kindly treat newcomers in design: ordering such a design will cost a penny (or even simply - a tip, or as a mutual aid), and the result is obvious.
Adding the site "taste"
Beautifully - it means laconically. If you are creating your site, try to make it in a single solution. Pictures of the same size for all articles or blog entries. Be sure to equalize the texts equally and do not be lazy to use the printer - a service that adds non-breaking spaces and other useful signs. If you hang on one line "in", and then the phrase starts with a new line, or in the same way starts with a dash - it's not very good.
Well-designed sites give odds to any "cool design". Unique buttons, interesting own solutions and finds are an occasion for a visitor to pay attention to you. So give yourself time to think about what to do on your site. This time - the time of reflection - to recoup itself very quickly, much faster than any glowing and flashing elements on the page.
Self-help and tips
Tutorials for creating websites are sometimes quite boring and long. A large book on php or html is suitable for a future programmer, but a real woman will be thrown into despair. Therefore, try to acquire useful self-help manuals, preferably smaller ones or even in the format of video lessons (so it's easier to understand what and where you need to click than reading out hundreds of pages of text).
And do not hesitate to ask for advice. "Smart" is still sitting without their sites, and you are starting a big deal. Therefore, than perelopachivat hundreds of pages of books - ask once for those who have already found the necessary "tick" on their site.
