Order of Site Asset Creation

After the Web site has been planned, the assets used to construct the Web site in Designer should be created. For the most efficient use, it is recommended that you create these assets in a particular order.

The most efficient method of asset creation for most Web sites is to build the assets "from the bottom up:"

1. Element definitions (see Creating Element Definitions)

2. Region definitions (see Creating Region Definitions)

3. Region templates (see Creating Region Templates)

4. Subtemplates (see Creating Subtemplates)

5. Placeholder definitions (see Creating Placeholder Definitions)

6. Page templates (see Creating Page Templates)

7. Site hierarchy (see Planning the Site Hierarchy)

Of course it is not entirely necessary to create the assets in this order. However, you typically create the Web site more quickly and efficiently if you follow this order.
