Using Web Templates for Web Design: Tips and Best Practices--Idea to Website
Successful design comes from asking yourself the questions listed at the top of the guidelines, and by taking your idea through each of the four phases below.
concept
Begin by putting your great idea for a web page into some tangible form. This might be expressed through a scribble on a napkin or a descriptive paragraph. Take your idea one step further by sketching out your page on a piece of paper. This paper is your prototype, and it will help you stay the course as you finalize your design.
Preliminary Design
Create, choose, and/or obtain your content, and then put it into HTML format. Review the principles of graphic design and interface design in the guidelines, refer to your paper prototype, and make choices about the look and the arrangement of your page. Next, show your page to a few colleagues, and ask for comments and editing. Your most helpful reviewer will be a person who fits the criteria of your intended audience.
Revised Design
Make revisions to your design based on the comments you received from your reviewers. Check your spelling. Check your HTML. Have a few more people look at your page. If you can, establish a test region on your server, so that you can check all the links and the layout of your page online.
Final Design
Check and revise your page one last time. Put it up on your publicly accessible server. Inspect the page online. Celebrate!
