SUMMARY

 Designing a website, like designing a book outline, a building plan, or a painting, can sometimes be a complex and involved process. Having a plan before you begin can help you keep the details straight and help you develop the finished product with fewer false starts. Today, you learned  how to put together a simple plan and structure for creating a set of web pages, including the following:

·         Deciding what sort to content to present

·         Coming up with a set of goals for that content

·         Deciding on a set of topics

·         Organizing and storyboarding the website

 With that plan in place, you now can move on to the next few days and learn the specifics of how to write individual web pages, create links between them, and add graphics and media to enhance the website for your audience.

WORKSHOP

The first section of the workshop lists some of the common questions people ask while planning a website, along with an answer to each. Following that, you have an opportunity to answer some quiz questions yourself. If you have problems answering any of the questions in the quiz, go to the next section where you’ll find the answers. Today’s exercises help you formulate some ideas for your own website.
