So if you want to make your site from the countless sites to stand out, you must make a good overall arrangement of the site, planning, all the content for careful consideration, all the ideas and reasonable organization to design a reasonable page style. Below we are specific to explore the site planning design.
First determine the marketing goals for your Web site:
1), Market research stage
To understand the current development of the Internet and the development of similar sites, operating conditions, to absorb their strengths, find their own advantages, the market to make a survey, clear the theme of their own website, looking for a good starting point.
2, what is the size of the site you envision?
As a website is not blindly want to do how big, and according to their own current stage ability, as well as the size of the enterprise, determine your site is small, medium-sized, large-scale site, or from small scale of the beginning, and gradually develop. This is mainly related to the site's post maintenance and the development of the site to consider the direction.
3, to determine the category of the site, you want to have a website design characteristics
According to the theme, form and the characteristics of their own enterprises, website design also has different categories, probably can be divided into: content-oriented, design as a supplement, pay attention to this large-scale professional website, it is generally reflected in the professional Icp,isp supplier production site, in the design of such sites do not too fancy, should pay attention to information The second most enterprises to better promote their products, expand the market, so that their products to the world, improve their corporate image and the production of the website, such web site production should be combined with the characteristics of their own products produced by the characteristics of the site, relatively more focus on product marketing; The third is the website of image class, Generally this kind of site is reflected in the government department, as a foreign window, relative to this kind of Web site design is more serious; the fourth is the Personal homepage website, this kind of website is relatively free, is not subject to what restriction, can according to each person's own specialty free play. So we make the home page first clear their orientation, design a suitable site.
4. Who is your main target audience?
Depending on the category of the site, the target audience is different, there are businessmen, professionals, students, women, men, children, adolescents, middle-aged, elderly, or all people, such as the education of the site is relatively targeted audience is the college teachers and students. Cosmetics, skin care products, such as the site is relatively female.
5), to determine the overall style of the site
In fact, this principle is no different from the traditional print publication. All the images and text on your Web page, including background colors, line distinctions, fonts, captions, footnotes, all have to be unified in style and throughout the station. This way the reader looks comfortable and smooth, leaving a "very professional" impression on your site.
For a simple example. If you use a black dot to enhance the visual effect in front of each of the 1234 columns, then the same style should be used in other similar places. Colorful sites, especially to pay attention to the unity of style. Colors can change, but fonts, body text alignment style, title, background effects, and special image effects should all be consistent.
Many people who lack the editing and publishing background can easily overlook this point, especially the Web page is more easily forgotten.
6. How much money are you going to invest and how do you manage this site?
Make a ballpark estimate of the site you are making, how much money, how much money you are prepared to invest to run the site, assuming that the site is produced after how to run the site, is all by themselves to do, or commissioned professional services to do, their own regular guidance, or set requirements, the goal entirely by others. This is a problem that can not be ignored, if a site to do a good job in the early stage, no one maintenance is empty, just like a newly built street, clean, people also like to come here to go shopping, for a long time, people walk more people, garbage more at this time no one to the tube, so the pile of rubbish more and more, the people who walk certainly fewer and less. After a long time is also gradually forgotten by people. Website management is also this principle.
7), according to the target framework to organize the site's content framework and logical structure diagram
① the target to sort out the site content framework
With a basic set of goals, you should refine your goals and initially sort out all the content that your site needs to contain to achieve those ends. For example, what information the site should publish, what applications the site needs to provide, and so on. Then, you should write down the preliminary outline of the content, to the superior or business staff to review and approve. This actually forms the requirements report for the site design. In your content outline, you should also indicate the source of information about the content and which department should provide the information. Listing these will make it clear to the superiors and the relevant departments "Who should be responsible for the content".
② further organize the site logical structure diagram
After you have set the content outline, you should be able to sketch out the structure of the site. There are also many kinds of structure diagrams, sequential structure, network structure, inheritance structure, web structure, etc., should be based on your content. For example, if you are making a tutorial, it might be appropriate to use a flowchart that represents the order. Most complex web sites are integrated into several different structure diagrams. The purpose of drawing a structure diagram is to easily organize sites and links logically, and in the future you will use this diagram to assign jobs and tasks.
For example:
You can tell a developer to complete the contents of a branch in the chart.
You can submit this map to the business staff, tell them which pages, need them to further provide content or information;
You can show the structure to the professional artists, so that the artist to consider in what form to express the content you want to say and so on.
In short, this frame chart will provide you with a basis for your next assignment and staffing arrangements.
