Step 1
Think about what topic you want to create a website for. Whether it will be a thematic forum, a specialized site, an entertainment resource, an educational portal or an online store. It is worth starting from the leading theme of your site when creating a design style.
Step 2
Check out a dozen popular sites with the same theme. Thus, you will see the main directions in the design of your particular type of site, new items, beautiful elements and clever design solutions. Be sure to write down for yourself all the moments that you liked on the site, as well as all the shortcomings that you will need to avoid on your site.
Step 3
If you are using a popular development environment such as WebMatrix or Dreamweaver, carefully study the additional resources of the program - often in the bowels of the application there is a lot of useful data that greatly simplifies the work of the webmaster, including design templates. Choose the right one, and it will be very easy to install and configure it using the same development environment.
Step 4
If you decide to create something completely original, read the corresponding top-lists and forums, where the most non-trivial solutions in website design are discussed. Perhaps inspiration will come to you, and you will become one of the most original website designers.
Step 5
Do not create too complex design - it is not so easy to implement programmatically. And excessive pretentiousness and originality can complicate the perception of the information that you want to convey to your site visitors. It is also worth noting that with a heavy load of graphics, the user may not wait for the site to load and simply close it. In general, we can say that it is not so easy to create a design, the main thing is to have the skill and the necessary software.
