A website is located at an address on the World Wide Web and contains webpages that serve as an online communications connection to the rest of the world for its owner. Designing a website requires relevant content, an attractive visual design, and impactful elements like those seen in print publications and television advertising. Additionally, a website should provide a valuable product or information, be frequently updated, and stay current with changing technology. Creating a website involves three main steps - obtaining a domain name as the website's address, finding web hosting to store the website, and designing, building, and uploading the actual website content and files. Effective website design follows a five step process of analyzing goals and audience, organizing content and navigation, developing pages and layout
