Creating web sites from scratch using ASPX model Martin Hejtmanek CTO, Kentico software s.r.o.
Agenda • Introduction to ASPX model • Source data for the web site • Designing the web site structure • Creating templates • Filling in content
Introduction • ASPX model • Preparing the templates in Visual Studio • Complete control over the page code • Requires programming knowledge • Portal engine • No compilation • Everything through browser interface • No model is better than the other, pick the one that you like more!
Sources of data • New web site from scratch • Basic HTML markup from designer • CSS styles from designer • Images from designer • Wireframes and behavior from the project manager • New web site on-the-fly • Recommended only for personal projects (no manager) • Migration of existing web site • Existing HTML markup • Existing CSS styles • Existing images • Known behavior and wireframes
Designing the structure • Main sections and their design • Home? News? Products? Search? About? • Master page(s)? • Probably YES • Common elements present on all pages • Reusable templates? • News list vs. News detail • Simple text page • Single page templates? (ad-hoc) • Home page • Search page
Designing the structure • Two possible approaches • First all sections, then all templates • Faster for smaller sites • Complete review by the manager at the end • Complete sections one by one • More effective for larger sites or teams • Partial review of the manager on each section
Filling in content • Fill in the sections content and texts • Publish the web site!
Summary • Introduction to ASPX model • Source data for the web site • Designing the web site structure • Creating templates • Filling in content
