If you’re interested in building a website for business, for making money online, or just for personal use, then this basic guide will help you understand the process and the steps involved.
First of all, you should understand the main differences between designing a website, building a website, and making your website visible online.
Website Design or Web Design is essentially the process of creating the visual elements and design layouts for your website. Website design generally requires using programs like Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, Macromedia Flash, etc … as these tools are required to create static or animated elements to be incorporated in the design of your website.
Website Building takes web design to the next stage by including aspects of web site construction such as planning how you will integrate the aesthetic components of your web site (e.g. themes, images, colors, fonts, text layout, etc.), with its functional elements (e.g. page navigation, content structure, interactive website features, etc.), registering a domain name, setting up a webhosting account for your website and taking the website development process all the way from idea to reality. In other words, after designing and building your website, you should have a real live website that people can visit by typing your domain name into their internet browser.
The last stage of this process, is to then make your website visible online to people who are interested in what you have to offer. This area includes search engine optimization (SEO), internet marketing, traffic generation, link-building and so on.
