Re: Intro to Web Design

Ahh yes, coding. Introduction to Web Development made me cry (no seriously) many, many nights. I just could not get the hang of creating an entire site using coding. Any who, since then I have shied away from site creation until the very lovely Project 1. Below see my answers for the questions from the original post:

How do you get started with designing a website?
I typically look for inspiration from websites that I personally enjoy, along with WIX.com. This allows me to look at various sites and decipher what I like and don't like and use said inspiration to draft my own. 

What factors do you consider before designing a website?
I first consider what is important to the consumer and use that in order to create my Nav tabs. From there I flesh out content in order to design the design structure (a lot of content calls for a different approach).

Where do you look for layouts and type?
--see question 1--

Anything else important to consider?
Definitely consider your audience. Certain groups go for certain styles and presentations and it's important to keep in mind when creating information that will be provided to said audience.
