Creating a website from the scratch is not an easy task. I started designing websites back in 2009 (13 years past so fast, damn!).
One of my family friends has a construction business, we heard that they are looking for a web designer. Then they called me, we arranged a meeting.
It was one of my first website jobs. I didn’t know much, never created a website for money at that time. But, I wanted to earn some bucks, it was exciting.
I asked what they are looking for and tried to understand what products they want to promote on the website. And asked $125 for a complete website. (It’s not just design, a complete website haha)
I went back home and thought about what steps I needed to follow to create a website from scratch. Even today, I follow similar steps because they work well!
I explained how to start and complete a website creation shortly for you: (It’s not like you are expecting.)
- Try to understand (client needs, users)
- Take your time to plan the process
- Imagine the end product
- Research similar websites
- Save your findings to a Figma project (websites, images, texts, gifs, layout examples)
- Take a break for thinking (If you finish the project in your mind, it will be like a child’s game later)
- Sit on the computer only when you know…
