Creating a Website

 Designing and Building a Website requires that you understand the various components and technologies that you will use.
Although you may not actually get involved in designing a site , as it is common to use pre-built templates, you will need to understand the design elements and probably make changes to existing designs (customisation).
The site design consists of the page layout, colour scheme, navigation, graphics, fonts, style sheets (if used) and logo.

Remember less is often more in web design. Web pages should look clean and professional and not like a Salvador Dali imitation. If your unsure then take a look at the Google homepage and see what a multi billion dollar company prefers.
Many web designers use an existing website template as the basic design and modify it to suit the customers needs. You can adopt the same approach and obtain a web template and modify it as necessary.
Alternatively you can choose a website building system like Wordpress which comes with many pre-built web designs to choose from.
You can even have your design/template done for you by a professional design company, or if you have an existing site then get them to do a site makeover.
