In starting a web design project I discuss with the client what function the site is to perform and what overall message or impression is to be conveyed. I also need to find out:
- How much information is to be presented on the home page
- How many levels are required
- How many unique pages
Organizing the information helps determine the layout of the home page and the navigation. I usually make an organization chart with link lines and other notes.
Before I begin designing, I look at similar sites to see what has been done:
- What images and motifs are used (or overused)
- What each site tries to emphasize
- How much information is presented
From this, I can approach my initial designs as to what I can do to make the site stand out as well as what good ideas I might incorporate from my research.
Other things that influence the direction of the design may be:
- new identity
- advertising campaign
I use the same visual organization principles that are used for print.
- Emphasis
- Hierarchy: Dominant, Sub-dominant, Subordinate
- Symmetry or Asymmetry
- Grouping
- Contrast
- Repetition
Depending on the budget, I try to provide 2-3 unique designs of home pages and second-level pages.
If I'm proposing something that may require advanced programming, I will show it to a programmer beforehand.
From these designs, the client makes comments and requests changes.

An author must have a vast knowledge of vocabulary. The dictionary of a writer must be full of new english vocabulary to make their work more attractive. Use of new words makes their work more valuable and graceful.
