A great website balances aesthetics and functionality. Follow this step-by-step guide to build sites that users love—and search engines rank.
Step 1: Research & Planning
Identify your audience and goals. Sketch a sitemap (e.g., Home, About, Services, Contact) to outline navigation.
Step 2: Wireframing
Use Figma or Balsamiq to create low-fidelity layouts. Focus on placement of headers, buttons, and images—not colors or fonts yet.
Step 3: Responsive Design
53% of web traffic comes from mobile. Design mobile-first, ensuring elements resize smoothly across devices.
Step 4: Prototyping
Turn wireframes into clickable prototypes with Webflow. Test user flows (e.g., “Can visitors easily find the ‘Contact’ page?”).
Step 5: Accessibility Matters
- Add alt text to images.
- Use high-contrast colors for readability.
- Ensure keyboard navigation works.
Tools to Try
- Figma: Collaborative design tool.
- WordPress + Elementor: No-code-friendly for beginners.
