Web Site Design Tips

Getting Started - Congratulations on taking your first step toward creating your own website. With Sofna’s easy website builder software, your website is only a few clicks away! Our software assists you in building a professional website step-by-step, so no html knowledge is needed.

Anytime you start a project it is important to be organized. Before you start designing your page, grab a pen and paper and make an outline of the pages you wish to have on your web page. Your pages represent the main points of your website. If you have a company that offers a service, you may want your outline to look something like the figure below.

Now that you have an idea of the number of pages, you probably have an idea of the content you would like to place on each page: go ahead a write it down, make a list. No details are necessary, just a general idea that can be elaborated later in the design process. For example, if you owned a construction company, your list may look something like this:

Designing Your Website

Your design should be reflective of you, your company, your service, or your product. Sofna has thousands of templates to choose from to meet your needs. Searching for a template is easy: simply click the category of your website and browse through the individual templates.

Once you have chosen a design, you can then edit the color with a click of the mouse. After selecting a color, you are prompted to enter the ‘Main Title’ of your page, for example: Sofna Construction. Now, enter your ‘Sub Title’, the title of the individual page you are working on (Home), and finally your e-mail address.

After your titles have been created you are taken to the design page, here you can edit text, insert pictures, and tables.

Finish and Submit!

Once you have finished designing and are fully satisfied with your site, you can submit it and it will be live!
