How to design a website

Types of web designing..
You can create many different types of websites, so I thought I'd outline what you need to do, depending on the kind of site you desire.
However, before you begin, just understand that no matter what type of site you want to build, you need a domain name and a web host.

A) Static HTML/CSS Website
A static website means the files are loaded "as is" on the web server. Compare that to a Word Press site where it grabs content from a database (comments, categories, etc.).
So if you just want a very basic website with no comments or additional functionality then you would choose this option.
The advantage of using a static website is that they are clean, load quickly and pretty secure.

B) Dynamic Website (Blog and Static Content)
The content (text and images) is usually fed from a database or content management system (CMS) so when the data is updated, the content on the website are also updated. This method opens up a lot of options on the flexibility and functionality of your website. Shopping carts and information sites work this way as their content changes frequently and needs to be constantly up to date. The additional functionality also creates a lot more variables to consider. These variables require extra work and ask the design more expensive.

C) Creating an eCommerce Website
This is a website that sells some kind of product, so you will need to be able to accept payments and possibly have some kind of shopping cart.
Also creates a lot more variables to consider. These variables require extra work and ask the design more expensive.
