[thelist] starting a website

[Ewing, Christopher]

My preferred method is to do nothing on the computer at all.

Yes thats right... nothing.

Break out a pad of paper and force yourself to hack out 10 or so wild
concepts in really rough sketch format.

Then take the best say 5 of those and fine tune them a bit.

Lastly take the best 3 of those and do graphic mockups (in say Photoshop).

Once I do that, then I use those for client demo's, giving the client a
choice, yet still retaining one of my design choices.

That apporach works well when you are a corporate webslinger also.

Hello fellow evolters. Got a semi-little-opinionated question for you.

What do you do when you are first creating a design with a website?

Do you just start with a raw html file and code away? Do you use dreamweaver
and just start moving things around until it looks pretty? Something else?

What about finding unique colors for a site?

I'm just starting to look for a more optimal way of starting things off on
my next project as I want things to go faster than usual.

thanks for the suggestions
