In designing a website, there's one key thing you cannot skip or overlook: the layout and design. As far as the planning process goes, I've probably thought the least about design. Why, if it is so important? Because I wanted to know exactly what I was putting in my site before beginning mu design plans, or even any branding plans.
First off, my site needs a name. I want it to be simple, easily remembered. Also, I fear the site will be seen as either a. a "magazine" style site or b. a "self-help" site, of which it is neither. So, for now, my working title is "YourBeauty". Ideally, I would be able to attain the rights to "YourBeauty.com"
Because of my comfort level with the software, I'd like to create my initial designs using Adobe Photoshop. I've been using it actively for over a year and have become very familiar with small tricks and shortcuts. I'd design templates-- i.e., the homepage template (unique to each individual), profile templates, article templates-- and then use a software designed specifically for web development to post it live online.
