Build Your Website

Using the following system, put your sites wording and navigation together in a way which guides the surfer to your "product":

  • Grab their ATTENTION
  • Get them INTERESTED
  • Build their DESIRE for your "product"
  • Get them to ACT now

For now, where you don't yet have a product, just put things like "get XXXX today" or "click here now to buy XXXX" Get the idea? You're building a site around a subject which will lead your surfer to a product that they need. You are NOT just putting up lots of links to a product that someone may or may not follow.

Let's look at this in more detail:

Decide and write down the answers to the following:

  • What will your surfers problems be? (prioritise)
  • What will they have tried that doesn't work?
  • What is it that would solve their problem?
  • How can your "product" help?
  • Why should they choose your "product"
  • And Why should they choose your "product" today?

Now lets try an example using gardening as the subject and just highlight one problem:

  • Problem:
    • Gardeners often suffer bad backs from digging pruning and weeding
    • They hate weeds and fight a constant battle with them which takes time and energy
    • They may have brown or burnt grass which spoils the look of their lawn
    • Their soil may be acidic which prevents certain plants from growing
  • Most gardeners will have tried stretching exercises and kneeling mats, they may have helped a little but their problem remains because they still have to bend to use their tools
  • If they could garden without bending, their back would not hurt.
  • You have a tool that will allow them to work on their garden without bending
  • Its the only tool that you can use without bending or stretching for digging pruning and weeding all in one simple tool
  • Your tool is so popular stocks are depleting fast, so to be sure they should order today. Tomorrow could be too late.

So how might this look as a simple website ?

Action

Build a storyboard and plan

  • Storyboard all your Web pages
  • Write a rough outline of each page's text
  • Decide which graphics should appear on which pages
  • Get permission to use copyrighted material
  • Create a master list of all files

Feature lock: No more new features added after this step!

When you have a list of all Web pages, files, and features, declare a stage of "feature lock." To get your site up quickly, resist adding more pages, files, or features, no matter how easy they seem. You can add more after your Web site is running.

Create your Web files

Rewrite text to produce final draft.
When you write Web pages from scratch, you can use HTML editor software to help.

Find or create all graphics files

You can scan your logos, art, and photos to create Web graphics files. Use Free clipart, create your own or copy free graphics from Internet archives.

Do you need advanced functions for this first site?

Many Web sites do not need advanced functions such as animation, database access, or multimedia. Your first Web site will be easier to create if you leave advanced functions for additions at a later date.
To perform advanced functions, you may need to use: CGI scripts, JavaScript programs, Java software, and interfaces with other software programs. You can write these software programs, buy them, or (sometimes) get them for free.

Test your Web files on your own computer

  • Test each file before adding to site
  • Note names of files with problems
  • Write down all error messages.
  • Determine causes of problems
  • Correct your files
  • Test every link on each page
Some Software programs can automate link testing.

Copy files to your web site host computer

Your Web site host may provide special software to automatically do this. If not, you'll need FTP software

Check your master list of files

Have all files been uploaded

Test your site online

Look at every page

Does each page display? Does every link work? Does every graphic display?
Visit your site using a 56k modem to see how quickly or slowly your page displays for an average visitor.
Write down all error messages.
  • Correct the files on your own computer
  • Copy your corrected files to your Web site host computer
  • Test again to make sure your corrections work
