I am sure you will be startled
with the title of this articles and will ask me, how can anyone
design a website in 7 days. It's a long process, wherein many
skills are required and many information is to be collected.
I am willing to excuse you if you think that this will be
a bare bones website, a website designed by an amateur.
Website Designing is a process, in which the website owner
as well as the web designer have to involved equally. As a
owner of the website you have to provide all the details and
all the information that the web designer would require. Generally,
the web designers are very professional and they do their
work very fast with alarming efficiency. Most of the times,
the website designing gets delayed when the owner of the website
is not able to submit the information and the details required
by the web designer to complete the web designing.
Here we will be talking of the job that the website owner
needs to do on his part to complete the web designing process.
If the responsibilities of the website owner is fulfilled
than the web designer can design the website very fast and
the whole website design can be launched within a few days.
Here I will try to explain the basic things that you, as a
website owner should complete, which if done, will complete
your website designing in 7 days.
DAY 1
Today focus yourself on acquiring your name on the internet.
That is to say that you first need a domain name. Well, it
seems simple and to allocate a complete day for it would seem
foolish. But read between the lines, this is not just another.
The domain name that you select will affect the business that
you get from the internet. Mostly people choose their company
name as their domain name. But ideally, the name of your product
& services should be included in your domain name, because
people look out for you not by your company name, but by the
products & services you offer. Hence, it is a good idea
to include the name of your products and services in your
domain name.
DAY 2
Today, you should select the best web hosting company who
will provide an ideal web hosting package for your website.
Usually you get a very huge web space in a web hosting, but
what is the use of that ? There is no point in subsciribing
to a webhost who offers 1500 GB space when what I need is
only 100 MB space. Choose a web host with utmost care because
that can make or break your business. Do not always go for
cheap web hosting, instead go for web hosting package that
offers you all the features and which offers atleast 99.9%
uptime. You do not want your website to be down when a potential
customer visits your website.
DAY 3
Now that you have your name and location on the internet in
place, you need to decide what you wish to show to your website
visitors. This day will be taken up in planning the whole
aspect of your website. You need to plan out what is the purpose
of your website and what are the goals fo your website. Are
you here to sell something are are just providing information
on your company, it's products & services. Today you will
also choose a competent web designer who will design your
website. Refer this guide -

to decide on the web designer who will design your website.
DAY 4
Today, in cor-ordination with the web designer you will decide
on the look and the feel of your website. How will your website
look, is flash to be used or not, how many pages will it have,
what colors will be used and what designing principles will
be followed while designing your website. You should have
a clear image of your website in your mind and that should
be effectively communicated to the web designer.
DAY 5
For your web designing, today you should collect all the information
and details to the web designer. It is also a very good idea
to choose the graphics and images that you will use on your
website. Choose captivating images and graphics which will
ensure that more and more visitors come to your website. Pay
attention to the minutest details that you include in the
information sheet on various pages of your website. Also make
sure that the images and graphics that you use on your website
are not very heavy in size as that will slow down the loading
speed of your website.
DAY 6
Start using your email id's like info@yourcompany.com and
sales@yourcompany.com. This will increase the popularity of
your website and the people to whom you send this email will
get to know about your website. this is the first step in
promotion of your website. Once you have given all the details
to your web designer and finalised on the web design, an expert
web designer will not take more than 2 days to create all
the pages and deliver it to you or upload it to your website.

website, except visitors. So from today, start working on
promoting your website and bring more and more visitors ot
your website. You can do this by informing all the business
associates that you have of your wesbite. Also inform all
the relevant trade organizations and chambers of commerce

search engines on the internet. This will ensure that you
