Chapter 4 - Planning the Web Site

In this chapter we have looked at some of the principles and concepts behind site design and navigation. We've explored how to build our site without touching the keyboard, as building is as much planning as it is constructing. The design brief has called for certain functionality to be employed within the site, and we've explored how we can achieve this with the aid of flowcharts to help us work out process flow. By combining this functionality with the design brief, we have addressed the design and functionality requirements, and have given the site form.

In the following chapter, we will look at putting this all together, by finally putting finger to keyboard, and implementing our site design and constructing our database.
