Introduction To Color & Design
Why do you want a web site?
The first step in planning a web site is to determine what the purpose of the website is going to be.
- Why do you want to build a web site?
- To sell products and services?
- To find new customers?
- Establish credibility?
- Improve customer service?
- Provide information?
Your answer will determine most importantly, your website's content and secondly what layout and colors you choose for your site. You may want to:
- write a series of informational articles
- add a catalog
- provide product information
- run an affiliate or membership progam
- provide order forms and/or a shopping cart
Until you know exactly why you need a web site you won't know what content to include or how to design the layout.
