Once you know what the project is all about, it’s time to get some ideas together, and brainstorming is a great start. Rather than looking for the perfect idea to be your first, throw out any and all ideas or concepts for the website as a start. Some websites might call for a standard web interface, with navigation (a button bar) and content areas where users are most likely to expect them. Others may require a unique concept to present the content. In the end the content will drive the design… a news site will have a much different approach than a photographer’s web portfolio.
