Planning the website:  Planning the website involves taking a close look at the elements necessary for this website.  There are many questions that you should ask yourself when planning your website.

  1. What type function do I need in my website?
  2. What are the goals for my website?
  3. Who are my targeted audience?
  4. How can I create a site to provide value ot my visitors?
  5. What is my budget and timeline?
  6. How often will I need to update my website?
  7. Do I need to design my website for visitor interaction, imput or feedback?

Setting up the basic structure of your website:  Your structure should be set up exactly as if you were creating a hierarchy.  You can use a pencil to draw a square designating your home page, and then draw how other pages link from your homepage, to each other.
