Design the home page for a business of your choice

Getting Started with Web Design

Familiarize yourself with design
1. Familiarize yourself with UI design and new Photoshop techniques.

2. Read and visit the resources housed below in Additional Resources.

3. Don't forget to download the source files!
Create buttons, avatars, containers
Use the techniques you've learned to create the components for your own Partystarters (or other company) one-page site.
- Build your buttons
- Build your avatars (circular and square)
- Build your container style
Tip: Building a logo first is a good way to decide what color pallete will represent your brand identity.

Example of Kelsey Kreiling's assets.
Share your project assets
Share any of the assets you have designed for your site. Offer feedback on your peers' project choices.

Putting It All Together

Build your site
Pull assets from your source file. Your design should include:
- Header
- Imagery, tagline and call to action (above the fold)
- More text explaining more on what the product is (below the fold)
- A final section (carousel optional) about who your users are (or any other secondary information you deem important to communicate to your user)
- Don't forget your footer!
Share your site
Share your progress in your project section to get feedback from other students
