What you want the readers to know, What you want to portray, consider the mood of the page, is this going to attract your desired readers? The readers want to received information that they need so I have to know how to put all the necessary information into it which is easier to read. Sketching out is one of a good method to bring out all my ideas and concepts. From there, I can easily mark out the most successful ideas/concepts and develope even more. These are the important elements that is needed to make a good website. Visual design using colors and arrangement of the web helps to attact the readers but most importantly it is the website that must work. All the works and designs should complement one another.
