To build a website, you need to start with a blueprint. When an architect creates a blueprint, he considers the function of the element he is designing. An airport’s blueprint looks very different form a library blueprint, for instance.

Your website’s blueprint is the outline for your site, ultimately providing you with a web design master plan.

Iron Rule: When making your free website with Wix's website builder, a superb design is important, but you also have to publish quality content. After all, content is the main reason visitors choose to visit your website. On the World Wide Web, content is king. Content helps search engines rank you, and in turn, helps your ideal users find you.

Things to Consider for Your Roadmap:

1. Function: What will your site’s function be? Will it be a personal blog, an online gallery or exhibition or a promotional website for your business?

2. Information: What sort of information would you like people to find on your website? What should they find on the homepage? Once you determine your website's main subject matter you’re ready to start organizing its content. The deeper you delve into the process of creating and finding appropriate content, the more exciting the website building process becomes.

3. Navigation:

  • How many pages should your site have?
  • What order should the pages be in?
  • How will users navigate the site? How should the menus, interactive buttons, displays and functional tools work?

Important questions that need to be answered.

4. Design: Your web design should, to a large extent, be derived from the function, information and navigation you decide upon. Choose a Flash template that suits your needs best and keep the design clean, but not boring. Think about the type visitors you want to attract. What type of web design would they appreciate? How can you please them and even surprise them?

Once you have your roadmap ready, you can work quickly with Wix.com’s Free website builder to customize a Flash template and design a beautiful and efficient website.
