I feel like one needs to know alot about how to kick-start their way into building complete websites with both frontend and backend in order to familiarise themselves with software development.
Planning & Research
Start by defining your website's purpose, target audience, and core features. Create a sitemap and wireframes to map out the structure and user flow. Research competitors and gather inspiration for design and functionality.Design Phase
Create mockups or prototypes of your key pages. Focus on user experience (UX) first, then visual design. Consider mobile-first design since most traffic comes from mobile devices. Choose your color scheme, typography, and overall visual identity.Technical Setup
Choose your tech stack based on your needs and skills. For beginners, consider website builders like WordPress or Webflow. For more control, you might use HTML/CSS/JavaScript with a framework like React, Vue, or a static site generator like Next.js or Gatsby.Development
Build out your pages starting with the most important ones (usually homepage, about, contact). Implement responsive design to ensure it works on all devices. Add functionality like forms, navigation, and any interactive elements.Content Creation
Write and optimize your content for both users and search engines. This includes copy, images, videos, and any other media. Make sure everything aligns with your brand voice and serves your users' needs.Testing & Optimization
Test across different browsers and devices. Check loading speeds, fix any bugs, and ensure all forms and links work properly. Test the user experience with real users if possible.Launch & Maintenance
Set up hosting and your domain name. Deploy your site and set up analytics to track performance. Plan for ongoing maintenance, updates, and content additions.
