3. Images: When you find images you want to use, put them in a file marked images in your website folder. o As you put your images in the folder, make sure you save them with a name, lowercase with no spaces and any captions you might want to use.
Start thinking about the following images:
Business Logo- I can design if needed.
Photographs (about us page, photo galleries, etc.)
Icons- this could be anything!
4. Layout: There are many designs out there. How do you want your site to look? Navigation on the top, side, bottom, columns, etc. Draw it out on a separate piece of paper to eliminate guess work.
