Now a lot of people are asking me how to build a website Ah, building a website need to learn what things, build a station how to design, how to design and make their own personal website Ah, what the personal site needs, ah, the road where the personal site Ah, how to profit ah and so on. I also did a few years of Web site, there are successes and failures. But finally some heart. Take it out now and give it a go.
1. Building a website to first determine the theme of the site
To do the site, the first thing you have to solve is the content of the site, that is, to determine the theme of the site. The US Personal computer Magazine (PC Magazine) ranked 10 of the top 100 top U.S. websites in 99:1th Category: Online job search; class 2nd: Online chat/Instant message/icq; class 3rd: Online community/discussion/mailing list; 4th class: Computer technology; 5th class: Web page/ Web development; category 6th: Entertainment websites; category 7th: Travel; class 8th: reference/Information; 9th class: Family/Education; 10th class: Life/Fashion.
We can refer to the above classification and continue to subdivide. If you are interested in some areas, or have more information, you can do a site in this regard, one, you can have their own views, to make their own characteristics, both, in the production of the site will not feel unable or powerless. So that they do not have interest, interest and enthusiasm is the driving force for the construction of the website, there is no enthusiasm to create, it is difficult to design a good site.
For the choice of content theme, to achieve small and fine, the theme of small, content to fine. Do not try to make a large and comprehensive site, this will often lose the characteristics of the site, will also bring high intensity of labor, to the site's timely update to bring difficulties. Remember: On the Internet only first, no second!
2: Select a good domain name
Domain name is the address of your website on the Internet. A non-profit site, most personal sites are non-profit. The value of all its construction is condensed on its website domain name. Without this domain name, all upfront work will be dashed. At present, do a lot of personal website with free space, domain name also uses the free domain name, although reduced some investment, but this to the personal website promotion and the development is disadvantageous, not only is it "occasionally" the open window to hinder the user's view and the good opinion, lets the person look to know is does not have the personal website, Also hinders the normal transmission speed of the Web page. So, my personal point of view, the first to spend some money to register a domain name, the independent domain name is the first wealth of personal sites, to the domain name from the image, simple, easy to remember. The current domain name space is also relatively inexpensive, which provides unprecedented conditions for the development of personal websites.
3: Learn to master some of the building site tools software
With the development of software technology, the tools and software used to make Web pages are more and more abundant. From the most basic HTML editor to the now very popular web page of the Macromedia Company, there are many kinds of Web page making tools, following a few representative web page makers:
(1) HTML editor. Although HTML code is complex, editing and debugging takes a lot of time, it is still favored by advanced Web page makers because of its stability, wide support, and the creation of complex page effects. For now, there are a number of editors to choose from, which support complex page creation and advanced HTML specification, and use the more popular professional HTML editors such as Hotdog.
(2) WYSIWYG Web page editor. With Microsoft FrontPage as its representative, it has the same operating interface as word, familiar with the word features of the operator, as long as a little training can easily prepare the Web page. Also, FrontPage can parse the HTML source code for a Web page and provide preview support. However, some of the special display features of FrontPage are not implemented in other non-IE browsers. So FrontPage is a very suitable for beginners, intermediate Web page production staff to use the tool software. I started with FrontPage, and I still use it until now.
(3) Now very popular Macromedia Company produced Flash interactive web production tools. This is a very powerful interactive vector Multimedia Web page production tool. can easily output a variety of animated web pages, it does not require a particularly complex operation, but also smaller than the Java compact! But its animation effect, interactive effect, multimedia effect is very good. But also in Flash animation package Mp3 Music, fill out forms, etc., and because the flash produced by the Web page files than ordinary Web files are much smaller, so greatly accelerate the browsing speed. This is a very suitable tool for dynamic web production.
In addition, the personal website author also needs to understand the HTML4.0 specification of the common business, CSS cascading style sheet basic knowledge, java***, vb*** basic knowledge. For some commonly used scripts such as ASP, CGI, PHP also need to have a proper understanding, but also skilled use of graphics processing tools and animation tools as well as vector graphics tools, and can understand the basic use of a variety of graphic image animation tools for the necessary art design. Skilled use of FTP tools, as well as the corresponding hardware and software and network knowledge is also necessary.
Of course, the Internet is still a free database. Web pages require a wide variety of buttons, backgrounds and a wide variety of graphics and pictures. If these are to be done on their own, both waste time and money, but also the need for strong graphics, picture production technology. Therefore, in order to save the trouble, Web site producers can download all kinds of beautiful and practical pictures, buttons, backgrounds and other web materials from the Internet.
4: Determine the site template interface
Interface is the site to the first impression of visitors, often determine the site of the animations, in determining the interface of the site to pay attention to the following three points:
① column and plate arrangement
Building a Web site is like writing a paper, first of all to list the topic, can be subject to clear, clear level, outline with the collar. Website Construction Beginners, the most easy to make the mistake is: determine the subject matter immediately start production, did not carry out reasonable planning. So that the site structure is not clear, the directory complex confusion, plate layout confusion. As a result, not only did the viewers get confused, but the producers themselves were also struggling to expand and maintain the site. Therefore, before we make a Web page, we must consider the layout of columns and plates.
After the subject matter of the website is determined, the content of the collected materials should be arranged in a reasonable arrangement. For example, put some of the most attractive content in the most prominent position or in the layout of the dominant position. The essence of the column is a Web site's outline index, the index should be the main body of the site clearly displayed. In the formulation of the column, we should carefully consider, reasonable arrangements. In the column layout you need to be aware of:
Remove as many columns as possible from the subject matter;
As far as possible, the most valuable content on the site listed in the column;
As far as possible from the visitor angle to arrange columns to facilitate visitors to browse and query, ancillary content, such as site profiles, copyright information, personal information can not be placed in the main column, so as not to dilute the theme.
In addition, the layout of the plate should be reasonable arrangement and division. The concept of the plate is larger than the column, each plate has its own column. Generally speaking, the personal site content is less, as long as the column is enough, do not need to set the plate. If it is necessary to set up the plate, it should be noted that:
Each plate should have relative independence;
Each plate should be interrelated;
The content of each plate should be around the theme of the site;
② directory structure and link structure
