Good, straight forward article – we sometimes need to be reminded of the simple stuff when bogged down in a project or overwhelmed with information. Thank you Selene.

P.s. The site design looks good to me. Nice subtle texture to the background. How’s it done?

Awesome post Selene! I find the whole website creation process is so much smoother when the client is kept informed and communication is close between the developer & client.

Cheers Mick

Wow! I have to admit this is a great website. A great web design is very important to any online business. It is your store front just like any local store or business you might visit in your town. No one would like to visit a store that looks like something that would come out on Texas Chainsaw Massacre would they? At least I wouldn’t. First impression is very important. Your content is short, straight to the point and very informative. Keep up the good work.

Wow, lots of replies but what a great post. I see most self-proclaimed web designers forgetting about your whole post with 6 steps and only 3 and 4 for Design and Development. Beyond that, most people don’t worry about the information gathering, testing or anything else that creates a complete web design. It’s good to see some designers with some actual process behind their work. Great post. You can really see you put some effort in this one.

That is a nice compilation.I only want to say that SEO is the most difficult task in the Website Development process as it requires a lot of patience which most of the new webmasters lack.

Found a link to this article on another post of yours on Freelance Folder. Again, thanks for the tips, very useful! I’ll be sure to follow your step-by-step guides and share them with my clients…
Oh yes, and I agree with some of the comments above, the light text on dark background works quite well for your site, but I see you have now developed a ligher version as well?

@George “well-known readability problem” A lot of things are “well-known” but are complete fictions or at least debatable. If legibility was the real reason you have a concern with reversed type, then consider the fact that many folks with really bad vision actually perceive reversed text easier…Think macular degeneration or glaucoma.

The Planning stage is –> way too brief <— much more research and design consideration needed and possibly more questions for the client. UX design rather than just aesthetics to be considered.

@ Gorge – it's clearly just a problem for you! I like it, as it seems everyone else does also. There IS NO golden rule as a designer as you suggest

Terrific outline of the web design and development process! Am actually just begining my first trial attempt at designing my own website, doing everything from conception to end product myself, so, thanks for the read and the information!

Nice post, very helpful. I’ll be talking to my manager later about how my team and I can get into phases 1 and 2 as we currently only work on 3-6.

A lot of the phase 1 and 2 work is done by our managers and marketing people and I think as designers and developers we should be involved too, if not for a better product then for my career progression at least.

Cheers!
