Comprehensive Site-Planning Guides

This website design infographic breaks down how to create a user-friendly site. From multimedia design studio Lemongraphic and non-governmental organization Internet Initiatives, the comprehensive guide looks at planning, designing and optimizing a website in a simplified way.

The website design infographic provides three stages. Effective planning involves the structure of how information is organized, determining what kind of pages and how many are necessary and figuring out how quickly users can navigate. The chart analyzes design and layout by identifying key design considerations as well as five quality components that define usability. The third stage is strategic implementation, which itself is a two-stage process requiring testing and launching. Keyword strategy, site structure, result measurement, on page and off page factors and testing and refining strategy are all part of the third stage.
