Three Stage Web Design Process in Building your Website

Design – Code – Build

Would you believe for most websites, they are initially designed as one page template.  In this design template, the colour scheme, graphics, content, logos, and main navigations are placed into a pleasing design.  This design then becomes the basis for then coding a template page, which consists of html and CSS for static websites (and a more complicated activity of coding template files as well as HTML and CSS if for a dynamic website (such as a news or blog site).  This coded template page, is then tested on all the major browsers to ensure the coded layout works on these browsers.   The code for the designed web page is then used to build all the other pages of the website.  Text and images are inserted into the relevant pages and the process of building the content of your website begins.
