Starting a website

[rrjnsy89]

Starting a website: Hey, I’m sure you guys must know tons of this but I’m just clueless. I just don’t know how to start a website from scratch, should I make sketches of what I want to show there? Should I know colors before I get started or fonts or any of that? I’m not a designer and so I come for your help on this. I run a business where I repair computers, that simple. Any suggestions?

Firstly I would grab a piece of paper and a pencil and draw out a few layout ideas......one you have designed one you are happy with, you need to decide on your colour scheme. If you need a little inspiration of what goes....look here-----> COLOURlovers :: Color Trends + Palettes

Then you need to convert your drawings to a website using html/css - do you know this? if not, here -----> HTML and CSS Tutorials, References, and Articles | HTML Dog should get you started.

Hey! Those color ideas are awesome! I’ve always been sort of handicapped when it comes to creativity but that seems to help a lot, thanks a lot really, I’ll see how I can send you my email, if you have more ideas like that I’d love to see them.
