Website Design Steps
Define Website Purpose
Choose Website Platform
Website Purpose
The purpose you have for your website will determine which features and functionality your site will need. First things first, will your website be for personal or business related purposes?
Personal websites typically include blog-like content and/or portfolios for display purposes while business websites can include eCommerce websites (for selling both products and services) and lead-generation websites.
Website Platform
Once you’ve defined your website purpose, you can now pick the best platform to use for designing your website. Otherwise known as a Content Management System (CMS), the platform that you choose for designing, launching and managing your website will determine what you can (and can not) do with your website.
The most popular platforms for websites are SquareSpace, Shopify and Wordpress but there are other options worth noting like Wix, Joomla, Drupal, Hubspot, BigCommerce, Magento, Ghost, PrestaShop, TYPO3 and GoDaddy Websites.
