Web and Blog Design Process By Dr.Hossam Darwish

Web and Blog Design Process

 

Web and Blog Design Process

Your website is a reflection of you and your business. If it’s attractive, intuitive and clear it will impress visitors and increase your customers. Dr.Hossam Darwish will guide you through a five step creative process to build your website or improve your online visibility…. 

1. Research, Consultation and defining the Website

For a new website, there are many issues that need consideration before the design process begins….

  • Why have a website? What is its purpose? To sell, for information?
  • Do you also want a blog? Can you update it?
  • Do you have domain name?
  • Who is your audience?
  • What is the competition doing?
  • Do you have logos, photography, graphics? Is content written?
  • Has a hosting company been decided?
  • What do you like/dislike about certain websites?
  • What is your budget?
To redesign a website, a different set of questions need to be answered.
  • How old is your current website?
  • How much traffic is it getting? Statistics need to be evaluated.
  • How is it performing in the Search Engines?
  • Will the changes only be cosmetic?
  • Where is this site being advertised?
  • Do you need a new hosting company?
  • What is the competition doing?
  • Does the site need optimization?
  • What is the budget?
2. Web Design Work


Creative collaboration is a fluid process and different for every client. Things that will be discussed, gathered, or created are:
  • Logos and graphics
  • High-quality photography
  • Palettes, Fonts
  • Pages and page titles
  • Navigation and hierarchy
  • Optimization research
  • Marketing strategy
  • Sound & Video
3. Other Things to Consider
Are additional features needed? Do you need to collect data? Manage content? How will this site grow over time? Who will be maintaining the site? Do you have a marketing plan, what are the goals? How will e-commerce be handled? Do you plan on publishing e-newsletters or auto-responders?

4. Creation of Website
Now your site will be built. Mockups will be created, navigation designed, web pages built and filled, images and text optimized, meta-tags written, links tested and all content proofed. This process takes place behind the scenes and the website will be published once approved.


5. Maintenance and Marketing
After the website is published, maintenance and marketing plans will be designed to meet the unique needs of your business.
Please note – If using WordPress you’ll need to buy the domain name and hosting for your blog separately. If you don’t already have a domain name or hosting you can purchase it cheaply through a hosting service .

Depending on your preference you may also wish to purchase a web template or theme to customize to your personal requirements. For example, see Studio Press,  Theme Forest or Woo themes for premium web and blog design templates. You can also use free templates from WordPress & adapt them for your business.
We follow usability principles for design to web standards which means that your site will load quicker, be accessible to people with disabilities and search engine friendly.
