Making your own website can really be difficult especially if you are still new about it and if you do not have someone that can guide on what should be first and what should be the last thing you need to make it work. 

In this article, we would provide you some useful things that can make you understand more about how the process of web designing works. 

First of all, you will need to create a plan. Maybe your plan was to make your own website and not for someone else yet since this is going to be your first. In order to make your plan work, you need to make sure that it is something that you are passionate about, so that you can make something more out of it. These are some of the things that you need to keep in mind when making plans:

1)  You need to know who your target audience is. You need to know those people who might be looking for something on your website that can help them in any way.

2)  Make your own identity by showing the people on what your website is all about. 

Second is the site structure, you need to make sure that the contents on your website are not confusing; it should be clear and in order. You need to determine which the highest priority to be the highlighted is and so on. 

You can also include a Site Map page as one of the low priority on your website for users who wants to get the information quickly. Most of the best web designers use this to help users find their way on their website. It also leaves a good and lasting impression to them.

Third is the Visual or Graphic Design. It covers a lot and it will surely help attract people into visiting your website. Do not abuse it though because over doing things make something that looks good, bad. Make sure that your web page is still easy to use with the graphic designs and looks appropriate. These are the things that graphic design covers:

• Images

• Typography

• Color

• Page Layout

• Navigation

Fourth, make sure that you are not giving your visitors wrong information about anything. Before you publish any kind of information, think and research it first. There are a lot of people on the internet spreading out wrong news and you do not want to be tagged along with them. 

Fifth, launch your graphical design into a functioning website. This is where coding works and it involves HTML/CSS. Make sure to double check your visuals before getting it on the screen. Make sure it is also accessible to Smartphone users. A lot of people are using smart phones now and a well produced site can give them a very good experience. 

Lastly, check your website on other browsers because it might only work with one and a lot of errors on another. List of browsers:
