2 designing.
with client requirements taken into consideration, the site design is aimed for a aesthetically-pleasing theme that corresponds with the purpose of the site; different layouts and navigations are considered to help visitors getting the information they need.
3 constructing.
first the graphical components required for the interface, which include images, graphics, and Flash features; the web pages are then put together in the designed layout; finally the web pages are linked together by the navigation system, which form a website. Changes are to be made base on client feedbacks at this stage.
