The Design Phase - Catching your audiences attention

Although the principle objective of a website is to increase the sales of an organisation, the first stage of the design process is to establish the correct functionality and establish a look (corporate identity).

This in itself involves a number of disciplines such as graphical design, marketing techniques, image manipulation and obviously HTML. To achieve these objectives a number of applications are used such as:

• Adobe Flash is used to create animations and presentations, many moving elements of a website are created using this software.
• Adobe Dreamweaver provides an enhanced interface for users with both a graphical or code based bias. Dreamweaver also assists with the creation of CSS (cascaded style sheet) web pages. This is a way of standardising the whole design so that elements such as text, headings, background colours etc can be controlled by a central “control page”.
• Adobe Photoshop is an essential tool for image manipulation and is widely used to develop bespoke web site images such as headers.
• Adobe Illustrator enables the creation of custom graphics such as icons, logos and also banners.

Many companies will need assistance with establishing a form of brand image so that their website is instantly recognisable and matches their physical presence.

The Development Phase

This is where concepts and examples are transferred into the appropriate format to be displayed properly as a webpage. There are many different formats that can be utilised and the relevance of these depends on the overall purpose
