1.+Getting+Ready+to+Build+Flash+Websites

One of the most important steps in creating a website is to have all the organization in place prior to actually starting to build the site. Usually this is not a complicated process and one that takes very little time.

1. Create a folder and name it with the website name. For demonstration purpose, I will be calling mine isb_medialab_website. 2. Inside this folder create a folder labeled images. This is where all the graphics will be placed for the website.



3. Having a plan is a very important step. This can be sketch out on a scrap piece of paper and should include information about color schemes, layout, button presentation, location of important elements etc. It does not need to be specific. You can see from my example that all I have done is placed lines for where I will put content, a giant letter P for picture and a list of colors at the left side. This is enough to get me started on what I will want. The buttons at the top indicate some of the content I will place on my pages.
