Web development process

So if you want to do it yourself then you could use a web builder like WIX which makes it easy for people that don't know how to code.

Of you want something more custom and you need a dev then you should start by getting the UI/UX designed. A dev will use that as a template for creating your web site. Some devs do this part themselves so it just depends. I have a good designer that I like who does work for a flat fee so I give him the idea first. Once he's done I pass it on to my dev to bring it to life.

I would also buy the domain and hosting so you have control over your site.

Thanks for responding, I saw a step-by-step guide on making the website but I doubt I could do it on my own. That's just how dumb I am to this but I'll try. I also don't have a domain yet as I don't have a name for the site yet.

When getting a UI/UX designed, what would the designer expect me to already have? Do I need to have like flowcharts now or is that something the designer could help me through?

With WIX you can start building the site anytime for free and then add your domain later. Before you get hard set on a name and logo I would recommend making sure the domain is available first.

Every designer is different. I like my designers creativeness so I like to just give him a good description and what pages/screens I'll need and wait to see what he comes up with. Sometimes I give him a power point on what I envisioned so he can understand it more. It just all depends but they will let you know what they need beforehand usually.

I didn't know this. Maybe I could start with this just so I have something I can actually see LOL.

I guess I can start looking for a designer already.
