How to write initial ideas and visual designs components
About the fitness company project
I did it this way:
- Select a CMS (Drupal, Wordpress etc)
- Chose a standard template for this CMS that almost fits your need.
- Replace the template contents with mockup contents (lorem ipsum…)
- Do the navigation stuff.
- Replace the dummy content with real content.
As always, there are many ways to do a task.
Very much depends on whether it is a website for you and you are doing all the development. If this is for someone else such as a company and/or you are paying someone else to create something for you then you should use the design methodologies that have been developed by thousands of other software specialists over a period of many years. The first thing a professional should do is a requirements definition (what needs to be done in non-technical terms) before making any decisions about how to do it.
