In my previous article What You Need to Know to Start a Website I wrote about defining the goals, audience and other such things. I also mentioned that a website should be built around the content, not the other way around. What did I mean by that? Below I am giving you some examples of how the content affects design and layout of the site Please take a look and let me know what you think.
Different types of web sites:
Brochure sites
Brochures sites are based on providing information about a company/individual/organization/etc. The main focus of these sites is to appeal to new clients and provide their contact information for the old ones. Usually sites like these are not updated very often, however, they should be maintained on a regular basis, since the information can become outdated after a while. These kinds of sites rely both on images and text, depending on the industry.
Brochure Website - Mcc Technologies
Brochure Website - Rejuvenate Face and Body Spa
Brochure Website - Kingdom Landscapes
Blog Design - Abduzeedo Blog
Blog Design - Web Designer Wall
Blog Design - Design Informer Blog
Ecommerce Design - Beach Bunny Swimwear
Ecommerce Website - Joe's Jeans
Ecommerce Design - Victoria's Secret Online Store
Portfolios
Are you a creative person? If yes, then this is your answer. Portfolios let creatives show off their work and promote their services to potential clients. In my opinion, portfolios should be very simple to not take away the eye of the visitor from the work displayed. Portfolios rely heavily on images and very little text.

This is a good companion piece to “What You Need To Know To Start A Website. You give such a clear, accurate portrayal of what qualities these different websites have. It’s a great visual guide for designers starting out. I found it very helpful.
Great article. Quite often we have clients come to us asking for “A website” and it falls to us to help them understand the different formats and layouts and what will get them to where they want to be. I can see this being an excellent resource for both designers and clients alike.
Thanks!
