Begin by Developing a Solid Plan
How to Plan Out Your Website
Start developing a plan by reviewing other websites, looking at your competitors websites. Bookmarking sites for their esthetics or certain aspects of functionality that you would like to include on your site.
Next, Create a wire frame of your website, similar to the one illustated above, so you'll know how many pages you'll need to add and how they link together. Include external links to other sites and internal links to other pages. Having a clear outline of the site before you start to build it out will save you a lot of time and frustration.
This is an example of the wire frame or plan created to outline the basic structure for this website.
Decide on a URL or Domain name.
Before you purchase a domain name think about what your Domain Name will be. Make a list of potential names. Keep them as short and relevant to your buisness. It should be easy to remember, and if applicable use a .com TLD. Check your list of potential Domanin names or URLs through your browser to see if anyone is currently using it. Once you've narrowed down your list check it's availablity for purchase through your website hosting company.
