Step 5 - Plan the Site

[This is Step 5 of the Website Building Tutorial]

Now you'd ready to start working on your website. To begin with you will need to design what you want on your website. Sketch it out on paper in a flowchart. Usually there will be a 'home' page, a 'contact' page, an 'about us' page and other content pages. Do you want to incorporate any additional features like forums, guestbooks, blogs etc?

Another way of designing your flowchart is by using post-it notes. Every time you think of something you want to incorporate into your site, note it down on a post-it. Once you're done, find a wall or large surface and arrange each item in a logical and intuitive flow. Keep rearranging till you're satisfied.

Determine a site plan that will be easy to navigate and will allow visitors to find what they need quickly and easily.
