Design a website by yourself?

I suggest that you have the following conditions: proficient in computer operation, using computers for at least one year, being able to type and know basic computer knowledge, but don't be too stupid anyway, hehe. Of course, these are not necessary.

The first stage: At the beginning, you'd better learn some webpage editing software and basic webpage scripting grammar, such as Dreamweaver software, HTML grammar (Baidu: Introduction to HTML) and CSS grammar (Baidu: Introduction to CSS), so that you can better understand the principles of webpage design and operation. It is best to take this tutorial to learn and design while learning, for a week at most. Learn some javascript script syntax if you have time (Baidu: Introduction to javascript).

The second stage: after using web design software and basic grammar, you can design a relatively complete website. Of course, in order to make the website more beautiful and powerful, you need to learn some dynamic programming languages, such as ASP, PHP and ASP.NET. I recommend the latter two programs, because ASP will be eliminated after a while, and the latter two programs are different from their own online search. I prefer studying. NET, object-oriented, too powerful, Microsoft's thing is tough.

If you don't have the energy to learn these complex dynamic programming languages, you can use the ready-made website management system (actually called website building software, such as PageAdmin system, shopex system, discuz system, etc. ), which is also a popular method at present, saves time and effort.

The third stage: combine your own knowledge to develop the website, and you can develop the target website defined by others. At this point, you will become a real website developer.

tool

1, the webpage must be published online, and you must apply for space first; Free space is not very stable, the capacity is small, and it is not easy to apply. I suggest you buy a personal space in the server company first, and the space of more than 20M is enough. Of course, you can also install IIS on your computer to simulate the operation of the server (I won't go into details here, and interested friends can easily learn relevant knowledge from Baidu). 2. firework or photoshop is recommended for image processing software, and Dreamweaver is recommended for HTML editing software. Of course, if you know HTML grammar, you can use it as a plan.

design

At the beginning, it is suggested to download a relatively simple web page, open it in the design software, and then carefully observe the composition of other people's web pages, imitate and fill in various elements, and cooperate with the burning exercise, the progress will be much faster and the memory will be better.

In fact, it is not difficult to make a web page, but it takes a long time to make a distinctive web page.

Eight steps of website design

Now there are more and more WYSIWYG tools, which are more and more convenient to use. Therefore, designing web pages has become an easy task, instead of manually writing line after line of source code as in the past. Generally, novices can learn to design web pages after a short period of study, so they think that web page design is very simple, so they design their own websites in a hurry, but after making them, they find that their websites are very rough. Why? As the saying goes, "You can't eat hot tofu if you are impatient". Building a website is like building a building. It is a systematic project with its own specific workflow. Only by following this step by step can you design a satisfactory website.

First, determine the theme of the website.

The theme of the website is the main content of your website, and a website must have a clear theme. Especially for personal websites, you can't be as comprehensive and comprehensive as a comprehensive website. You don't have the ability and energy, so you must find what you are most interested in, do it thoroughly and make your own characteristics, so as to leave a deep impression on users. There are no rules about the theme of the website. As long as you are interested, you can do anything, but the theme should be clear, and the content in your theme should be large, comprehensive, accurate and deep.

Second, collect materials.

After determining the theme of the website, it is necessary to start collecting materials around the theme. As the saying goes, "A clever woman can't cook without rice." If you want to make your website flesh and blood and attract users, you should try to collect materials. The more materials you collect, the easier it will be to design your website in the future. The material can be obtained from books, newspapers, CDs and multimedia, or collected from the Internet, and then the collected material can be used as the material for designing your own web page.

Third, plan the website.

The success of a website design depends largely on the planning level of the designer. Planning a website is like a designer designing a building. Only when the drawings are designed can beautiful buildings be made. Website planning contains many contents, such as website structure, column setting, website style, color matching, layout, text and picture application, etc. Only by considering these aspects before designing a web page can you be familiar with it and have a good plan. Only in this way can the web page be personalized, distinctive and attractive. How to plan every specific content of the website, we will introduce in detail below. Fourth, choose the right design tool.

Although the choice of tools will not affect the quality of your web design, a powerful and simple software can often get twice the result with half the effort. There are many tools involved in web design, the first is web design tools. At present, most netizens choose what you see is what you get (the website management system mentioned above). In addition, there are image editing tools, such as firework and Photoshop. Animation design tools, such as Flash, have a lot of software downloads in this field, and you can use them flexibly according to your needs.

If you make a good page, you need to consider where to publish your webpage, which is what we usually call publishing space. The user network center of our school has applied for space, so you can use it directly (the sign of publishing space is that you have an FTP account, so you need to apply), or you can configure your computer as a server as I said earlier (you need to install IIS and other software, so you need to own Baidu).

Fifth, design web pages.

With the selected materials and tools, we need to turn our ideas into reality step by step according to the plan. This is a complicated and meticulous process, and it must be designed according to the principle of "big first, then small, simple first, then complex". The so-called big first and then small, that is to say, when designing a web page, first design the big structure, and then gradually improve the small structure design. The so-called simple before complex means designing simple content first, and then designing complex content, so as to modify it when problems arise. When designing a web page, using the background function of the website management system flexibly can greatly improve the design efficiency.

Sixth, upload the test.

After the Web page is designed, it must be published to the web server before it can be viewed by friends all over the world. There are many uploading tools now. We recommend LeapFTP software, so that you can easily publish your website to your own website storage server. After the website upload test, you can tell your friends or customers about your website and let them browse it.

Seven. Promotion and publicity

After the web page is made, we should continue to publicize it, let more friends know, and improve the visit rate and popularity of the website. There are many ways to promote it, such as registering on search engines, link exchange with other websites, joining advertising chains and so on.
