The Website Design Process
Through years of trial, error and experimentation, Genesis Box has developed and perfected a logical 5-step process
that works very well for us and our clients. It also works
very well as an overview of all the things you'll need to
know to become a website designer. Many articles branch off
from here that will give you details, tips and how-to's.
This tutorial is complex so you might want to print this
page as a reference to help keep your bearings.
