If you are just getting started with your new website design then you must be excited. Along with the excitement, you must not forget the simplest questions before starting a brand new website โ What’s the purposes and objectives? Is it going to be a business related site or a site for leisure or a blog?
Once you have figured that out then you will need to scratch your head for choosing a good domain name. Yes, that is right, the most important thing you should think about your website is actually its name. The name should be easy to remember and must also be catchy, that way your future followers/fans/clients will always have your website in their mind.
After you have finalized those two things, then the next step would be to actually choose the designs and the colors for your website. This is a very important step, you cannot have a website that is shockingly colorful or a site that is too dull and dead. When it comes to website design, balance is the key to success. Always remember, simplicity is good, but the web page must look professional as well.
I think you can pretty much understand, making a website is a big project, a big decision-making process. A well-researched planning certainly can make your life much easier.
Folks at Pixaal have come up with an informative infographic on things to note before you develop a brand new website. With trendy minimal flat design and colorful grid layout, they have already minimized much of your hard work.

Well this pretty much summarizes it all. Thanks for sharing this Saha.
Most people do ignore some of the basics like creating a sitemap and focusing on the colors and layout of a website. But they are as important as the content or marketing strategy.

Thank you so much Jane! Glad you liked this post ๐
I absolutely agree with you on this, that most people do ignore pretty basic things like color, layout, sitemap and even domain names. Bit we have to understand all this things are interrelated. And in combination of all things can create a great website.

You put the ocean of info in a little jar with the help of infographics but actually it is your know-how to what to skip and what to present which actually is not a common man job. One needs to be an expert to present the most relevant info in a concise way. I think whoever reads this post will never need another guide to start a blog or website. Great post S. Saha.

Thanks Muba! Glad you found this post helpful ๐
Well all I can say infographics are great way to squeeze a lot of information with form of visuals in a “jar”. And it becomes more easy for anyone to grasp all the info rather than reading long blog posts. And I must say the Pixaal guys had done a great job on creating this awesome infographic. Thanks again Muba! Let me know if I can help you with anything.
