Thank goodness for this article or I would have been lost as to how to start my own website! Of course, there are countless resources to review and research, but this almost seemed as an honest and simple short cut to help first-timers such as I to get started with building a website.
The whole purpose of this article was to introduce an alternative approach to simplifying the way one may start building and designing one's website: Designing from the bottom up, as the article's title indicates. "All websites need to educated and inform their viewers, so this method will help anyone designing a website" (Pappas, P. 1).
The following steps are given to start the process:
1: Brainstorm - list the items of ideas for your website
2: Grouping - put those items in to 2 to 4 categories
3: Critique the categories - answer a set list of questions to decide if these categories will work
4: Revise Your Categories - as needed
5: Develop a flow chart - to make it more organized
6: Design a navigational plan - create effective short cuts, and remember to use a navigational bar
7: Page Layout - clearly identify the title of the current page, the most important information should be at the top of each page
8: Don't Forget to Keep it Simple - no clutter!
9: Make the homepage - putting it all together
10: Upload to server - updating will be an ongoing process
Overall, this was a very well laid-out and step-by-step guide (however, it had MANY 'type-0's'!!)
