Content first !!!

I've spent so much time playing and learning Drupal, hosting account, Dream weaver, MySQL and stuff. I fell in love with technology, but was never satisfied with results. Just recently I found somewhere recommendation for design "from the outside".

It something like this:

1. What kind of message do you want to communicate to the visitors?

2. Who are your visitors?

3. Think of all pages that you want  and draw a site structure.

4 Start typing content in to any text processor, so you can copy and past it in to your site later.

5. Process any media that you want to include on your site.

6. Find a website that is close to what you had in mind design wise and not color combinations.

etc, etc, etc...

Only when you get an idea of answers for the questions above, you will be able to trully appreciate your work.

So, there it is. Forget about what is possible to do and focus on what's the point.

Start typing text long before uploading the site. If you want to have any images, process them in Photo shop long before you insert them in the site.

And so much more..

I wish I found this out few months a go, it would make my work so much easier and rewarding. To see what I mean, visit my site: www.IgorVincic.com
