A properly built website takes a team working together, each member playing to their strengths: front-end artwork, back-end code, algorithm design, database design, requirement analysis, server configuration and many other detailed tasks. In a short time frame, one person simply cannot do all of this.
1. Website prototype design
Before building, write down on paper the content, style and design you want, and what every page should look like. If you are unsure, borrow ideas from other websites and sketch a rough site outline with drawings or a prototyping tool. Then hand it to the designer to polish and enrich, and settle the interaction forms you will need.
2. Front-end development
Next, the front end builds a basic website, and a front-end framework can be used directly instead of writing everything from scratch. It is like being handed the hardware conditions: page layouts and the effects you are after need not be written yourself; simply follow the official documentation.
The specifics can be looked up on the framework’s official site. Though the site is in English, few of the words are hard, so get a feel for it and practise. If problems arise during development, do not worry: type your question into a search engine and combine theory with practice.
3. Back-end development
Once the front-end pages are done, the next job is building the so-called functional facilities behind the pages, such as user registration and login, all developed in the backend. Frameworks fit here perfectly too: backend frameworks are numerous, with foreign ones quite excellent and domestic ones also good, though the traces of imitation remain fairly obvious.
These are the three main steps of a website’s early development. To build a website well, all three must be mastered, so if you want to build a site, read up on them.
