The first step of creating a website for a client is to learn their requirements such as their target audience and goals of their website. Learning your clients exact requirements will help you save money and time. In addition, it will give you a idea of what to create.
The second step is to create a draft of how the website will look like such as a wire frame or a storyboard. A wire frame is a blueprint that includes the arrangement of a website’s content using a navigation diagram showing how the pages are organized and where the future web pages are expected to be designed. A site map is a list of pages of a website accessible to users. A story board is a sequence of drawings, typically with some directions, representing the outline for a website.
After you are done creating the wire frames and a storyboard, you need to get your clients approval. If your client doesn't give a approval, you have to redo this step until, they say yes to the design. This step will help save money and time also because you only have to change stuff on a draft instead, of starting your coding all over again.
The fourth step is to work on the website where you start writing the coding. You have to develop the website as per as your client's requirements and this is where where a wire frame and a storyboard will help you. Instead, of asking your client where you want the buttons, you can just look at your storyboard to see where it belongs.
The next step is to upload your website and troubleshoot. Look over all the pages and see if all the pages/links work properly. Fix anything that doesn't work.
After you are done troubleshooting, show the website to your client. Your client may or may not approval. If your client doesn't approval, go back to step one and start over as many times you have to make the perfect website for your client.
Process of a web designer :
As a web designer, following the work process of a web designer helps a lot. Creating wire frames before creating a website helps me a lot because it gives me a idea of what I am trying to create, Troubleshooting can be difficult at times but looking over the code, you end up finding your mistake. Having to re-do a website can be a lot of work if it doesn't match the target audience or the goals but if you divide your time, it helps you a lot. Time management has to be the most important thing as a web designer because if you use your time wisely it will help you a lot in the future.
