Creating Web Content
Starting with a theme you enjoy, the first stage is a “brainstorming” stage and its just that. Relax, let your mind run free and easy, jotting down what ever creative thoughts, ideas, opinions, information, knowledge, or instruction crosses your mind about your theme, without any censoring.
The key here is to be spontaneous. Just scribble thoughts down, on paper, a white board. When out for a walk, carry a CD or tape recorder with you to record great ideas for your page content.
Now put all your "scribbling" together into a rough draft, into a logical order, and using the "5 W's + H" scheme of What, Where, Why, When, Who, and How. Even here, a free and easy approach to your writing is usually best, that is, try not to be like Wikipedia, let your writing flow like a river! Lastly, scratch out a final draft, looking at your writing with a slightly more critical eye. The main things here are: to look for spelling and grammatical errors and to ask yourself, Does this meet the needs of my visitors? Each page also needs to be, if possible, full of key words and phrases (to please the search engines).
