A specific way to visualize information is to create your small website. Such an approach might have been considered too complex or challenging fifteen years ago. Still, today, the situation is such that anyone with digital literacy can create and run their site with "Word, PowerPoint and a web browser".

The first steps to preparing a website are related to the initial analysis:

• Why do you want to build a website?
• What should be its main message?
• What is it for?
• Who should be the target group?
• How to get content to the target audience - is the web the optimal form?

These questions may seem trivial at first, but we highly recommend you consider them and write down your answers. Try to be as specific as possible while at the same time, however, it should be said that the relevant answer to the last two questions may be nothing - you can make a website just for yourself, as this is sometimes a more convenient and better form of recording some activities or activities than anything else. For example, I like this as a basis for my CV or portfolio.

The second step is to consider how much time you want to spend creating the site - is it a one-off activity? Or do you want to spend time on it regularly? This consideration is essential because of how the site will look, whether the action makes sense and whether it would be better to create, for example, a PDF that will be uploaded to Slideshare.

The third step is to look for inspiration. Although you can start creating independently without research, it is efficient not to try to reinvent the wheel and see who among your competitors or colleagues is making an exciting website. Look at other excellent sites that may not be close to your own. It pays to look not only at the design work, content and structure of the area but also, for example, what kind of content management system the site is created in. For example, WordPressruns about a third of the world's websites and has about 60% of the share among content management systems.

Fourthly, it is advisable to think about what you want on the site - what sections, whether there will be a blog, map, pictures, gallery... That is something that you could describe as content work. Writing for the web is an interesting creative skill that makes sense to develop continuously. To hone this skill try to prepare the content (at least in outline) and the site's structure. Try using , or tools to create them to suggest how your project might look:

• Moqups allows you to make simple mockups without having to register. It is ideal for less demanding users with no web design experience.
• Ninjamock can be used for small, simple websites or parts for free, which should be enough. It is also one of the most straightforward tools.
• Marvel App is a robust professional design that can create mockups and entire prototypes. It's easy to use and has many features, and the results are very nice. The main drawback is the higher price, though, so for simple web design, we recommend especially the test version.

Once you have a web design, i.e. you know what and how it should be on it, you can start creating it. You can choose a custom solution or content management system you install on your server. However, most users will find it more attractive to reach for a simple solution where they don't have to worry about anything except setting up templates and content. For projects or creative presentation of information in general, simple tools can be recommended:
