Who the hell dislikes videos like these?! Like, why is there always THAT person... this is a very good, informative and insightful video, who would anyone ever have a problem with that, jeez... anyway, great video, subscribed!
I love how you make it feel simple and possible for any one to do. In this series I think you're going to show us or give us ideas on how to think when wanting to design a website more than how to actually do it which is great. I really like it. Keep up the hard work.
So glad to see a series like this! I study Interaction Design and have been building websites for three years now but it's always interesting to see other peoples' process - thank you for doing this! :)
Loved this video and the idea for the series. I learned the hard way of the importance of an outline/site map while designing the drama department website for my school. I was so excited about the actually designing that halfway through the project I was left with multiple pages floating in the menu which did not need to be there. After creating a site map the website all came together. Thanks for the video! I can't wait for the next one!
Interesting to see how you work :) Whenever I built websites in the past, I always made a quick list of pages and jumped ahead to sketching out the pages themselves on paper but it's so obvious and makes sense to build a site map like this first!
Super rad idea, Charlie! Really looking forward to this series. I love learning about different processes and methods people use for building out websites. One thing I do, which may be overkill, is a whole discovery process of the site. Really diving into the type of people who may be visiting the website (a fan, causal visitor, company looking to hire, someone looking for inspiration, etc). Obviously this varies throughout the type of project you’re working on, but it helps with the design and UI/UX portion of the website by finding the commonalities with each individual visitor and basing my structure and content off of that. Anyways. Keep killing it! Again, really I looking forward to the next part of this series!
those process and details about starting a business is going to be so helpful and crucial to so many freelance designers like me! these are all necessary but not a lot of individuals post about them. it'd be great to see a designer be transparent about that!
I do have a non-commercial website that needs redesigning as I am including diverse and expansive material. Your thinking as how to organize content is of great help to me. Thank you very much.
I find that when I’m on my phone or iPad, using a mind mapping app allows me to record site map ideas easily and efficiently. It shows the basic page linking structure that I can come back to and reference later.
Nice... this is so important. I remember when I was a novice I would just jump into Photoshop and start building. the result would be dredfully awful websites. 😂
I really like the way you explain things! I have someka's sitemap generator to create sitemap diagrams. Easiest way to create a sitemap chart imho. Thanks for the video! On to the episode 2:)
THANK YOU...THANK YOU...THANK YOU!!! This video was GREAT!!! Watching you go through just this simple yet important stage was very clear and helpful to me.
I am already visualizing the final version of your website having a clean Material design, which is responsive with any device. Nice one Charlie...! Good Luck...!!!
thanks for posting this! I'm working on building a website this semester so this is super helpful for getting my creativity flowing. Also all the videos you post are everything that i do, oddly enough. You're like my british twin lol
Hi @CharliMarieTV It is my first time learning how to design a website because it is a requirement for my current subject in college. I watched 2 of your videos including this one and it helped me figure out how to create my own web design. Thank you so much. Love your content.
I can't wait for the next video! It's great to be able to see other designer's process, I always like when people make series like that, I always learn tons. Good luck with your new website, I bet it's going to look neat. :)
Super excited for this whole series! I'm getting ready to build my own site as well, and though I plan on using WIX (I think, unless anyone else has a strong case for a different platform??) because I don't know enough about coding, this is going to be super helpful in just the whole thought process and everything. Can't wait to see how it all comes together!
Hi Emily.. I would like to know how it went with your own website as I am also building my website and do not know coding. Please let me know. Waiting :)
If it’s a crazy simple site, wix will do, but if you plan to do more than just have a few pages, I suggest WordPress. I can spend 5min to go help you decide
I really need to re-up my website (it’s pretty lacklustre and I’ve been paying for it to hang out that way for over a year...) thank you so much for doing this series!!
Also, I think blog posts about your business process would be ABSOLUTELY HELPFUL!! I was looking forward to hearing your insight since the first time you mentioned this in a video. There's not a lot of content out there that helps creatives with this side of their work. Thanks Charli!
@@charlimarieTV oh thats just plain lovely Ive seen some of your other videos you do know how to develop, I think the fact that you are a developer as well is why you know the difference and have your terms on point. I hate hearing people "develop" a website on wordpress while its jut really drag and drop
Wordpress is only really drag and drop if you’re using a theme like elementor or divi though! At the company I work for our website is built on Wordpress CMS but zero part of it is drag and drop.
@@charlimarieTV of course there's company developers that develop wordpress websites in php , but you'd be amazed how many wordpress drag&droppers call themselves developers

Great video Charli! Can’t wait for the future episodes...i did set up a goal to learn to create websites... this video really helps me with that too.. KUDOS GURL! Also...on a completely different point...your hair looks amazing 😀
Great stuff. You are very organised designer. This gave me great inputs for my own project. Thanks. Subscribed. I could not understand why you didn't want to continue with Wordpress ( which is the world's largest CMS) and rather go with Weblow instead. Actually thats my gripe with wbsite designers who approach me to get business from me. Using technologies like Webflow always makes me in 'need' of a website design company. Good for them.
I find it offensive that all these people who didn’t do the hard work learning to code. Call themselves web designers.. I feel the same way from an artist standpoint. I’ve been drawing and doing art for 34 years. When someone who just copies and pastes images together and call themselves artists I’m also offended.. I went to school for years to learn full stack development. Took computer science. And can build awesome websites, WITH CODE! You can always do so much more if you know how to code.. not use predefined tools. Not only that but you learn the actual science behind all of this.. learning why you should or shouldn’t have certain things on your site. Like forms. Which hackers use to inject malicious code. So you have to be Leary using any type of form.. and so much more of course
You know that web design is a different skillset from web development, right? And not that you asked (because you just assumed I couldn't), but I can write code.
That's good to know! I am planning on doing videos about design-related business (eg: contracts! and I've already done a series on how to price your work) but I feel like content such as 'how I ran my Patreon campaign' aren't really relevant to design so not a good fit for my channel I don't think!
fair enough, while on topic about design-related business could you talk about what it's like to work with a team and a little on how the work is broken up. Theres a small opportunity in my city and I just want to know what to expect. if not to much trouble but an idea :D
So when can e expect content on starting an LLC and working with an accountant? I'm very interested in hearing this topic from another designer, as I plan to do this in 2019 myself. Great vid btw!
Hi Charli, Greetings from Pakistan...it's good to see a post with great details and it help me a lot to understand the basic idea about building. website. I request you to please add some more advice about the selection of technology for website building backed by the reasoning. Regards, Kamran Mehmood
This is great! It's always so good to understand what goes on behind the scenes!
This video is more interesting for people that want to learn how to do it i think
Our company's website is done by Qinyitong Studio.

I know this video is 3 years old but it was super helpful and not overwhelming.
Best part of it was when you decided to make an MVP site in order to not get overwhelmed. Looking forward to the rest of the series.

I think I’m going to do a ‘financial year in review’ where I talk about my first year having an LLC. Sounds like that might be useful?
The way this has cleared my skin. Thank you
Thanks Charli! I will be using your video for flipped learning to broaden the scope of understanding of my students about site structure.
That’s so cool to hear!
Thank you for taking the time to make this, Charli. You are an inspiration!
HELLO HUMAN, saw this and only 10 seconds in - SUBBED. Super excited to watch this series.
why?
I do have a non-commercial website that needs redesigning as I am including diverse and expansive material. Your thinking as how to organize content is of great help to me. Thank you very much.
Great this is what I was looking for, someone who walk me through step by step. Thanks youuu
I find that when I’m on my phone or iPad, using a mind mapping app allows me to record site map ideas easily and efficiently. It shows the basic page linking structure that I can come back to and reference later.
This is a good explanation of the process of determining Site Architecture IMHO, thanks for sharing Charli.
I'm excited I found this! You are where I want to be in a couple of years! Thank you for sharing so much!
:)
Nice... this is so important. I remember when I was a novice I would just jump into Photoshop and start building. the result would be dredfully awful websites. 😂
This is great! and very helpful for me to get my plan for my website finished in the right way :) Thank you so much for sharing!

This video really makes me what to redesign my website. At the moment it's just a wordpress blog but I could do so much more with it
I really need to re-up my website (it’s pretty lacklustre and I’ve been paying for it to hang out that way for over a year...) thank you so much for doing this series!!
I just started my interface Design class and I have to work on a website brief, this was great to watch for inspiration!
Superb! One of the best examples of the high level planning needed for site building. More pls!!
Thank you! Will do!
10:50 min well spent. Great content. 💪
Hey Charli! This was super helpful. Thanks a ton
Thank you!! Love the series , subscribed and made it simple to follow (specially that I’m visual!)
Your video has actually helped and cleared the brain fog for me! Fantastic, thanks!
I'm so happy to hear that! Glad I could help :)
Hair is looking real good, Charli! 😻 the layers and colors 👌🏼
Also, I think blog posts about your business process would be ABSOLUTELY HELPFUL!! I was looking forward to hearing your insight since the first time you mentioned this in a video. There's not a lot of content out there that helps creatives with this side of their work. Thanks Charli!
You figured out " the real thing "... 😀😁😂
I´m redoing my entire portfolio and this was a great input to my process 👍
Ready for this series!! Thank you!
This is really great sharing of the process the thinking flow! Appreciated the effort and kindness! Thank you~~
Thank you
I agree! However I do know how to code. But I don’t work as a developer so I don’t identify as such.

Good vid, but I was hoping if you can teach us how to design a digital sitemap with a nice layout to put it on our portfolio
you could use Figma or your design tool of choice to draw digital boxes instead of my hand-drawn ones! :)
Thanks Charli, it’s really helpful
This was really nice and helpful. Thank you :)
This is a great resource, thank you!
Thanks so much Charlie! New website is on my list so its great to watch your steps.
Wayne Askey gang where we at?
Hi! Who is Wayne Askey?

Hey thanks! Love this.
Awesome!! am realing learning from you
I think those ideas about accounting and such wouldn’t be a bad idea here on CZcams
Orphic I was going to say the same. Ran over at Flux does it... and it doesn't bother me a bit

Thanks for your videos - very informative and inspiring at the same time)
Great video. thank you for sharing.
