A 6-Step General Process for Producing a Website

2010-08-02T08:20:00.000-07:00

When it comes to building a website, it helps to have a process to follow, especially if you are just getting started as a web designer. Good guidelines can help you work better by keeping forgetfulness to a minimum.

Every designer or company will develop unique components to their web design process over time, but the basics remain the same: learn, plan, design, code, launch and maintain.

In this article, I will share my process for designing a website.

Before we get into it, let me first share two parallel processes that should be taking place throughout your design process.

The first thing you should be doing continuously is seeking feedback. You’ll save yourself a lot of wasted time and effort by getting feedback at regular intervals.

The second thing you should do continuously is testing. Test the heck out of everything as you go to avoid mega-headaches down the road.

With that said, let’s get started!

1. Learn
What do you think is the most important step of the web design process? Planning? Designing? Coding?

Guess again.

It shouldn’t surprise you that learning — discovering and understanding what you need to build in the first place — is the most important part of the entire website design process.

Why? It’s simple, really. The more you know about what you need to accomplish, the better your chances will be of creating a successful website.

Think of it like this: If you are an archer, don’t you need to know where to aim your arrow? That’s what the target is for. The little red dot in the middle is the bullseye. Since it’s smaller, it’s harder to hit, but even if you aim for it and miss, you’re sure to get closer than if you aimed your arrow up into the air and hoped for a random direct hit.

So how can you score a bullseye as a web designer? Before you go any further, you need to define what hitting the bullseye in your project means.

As a web designer, hitting the bullseye is giving your clients what they want — it’s what they are paying you for.

What clients want varies widely on a case-by-case basis. Since you aren’t a mind reader (no, you’re not), you need to proactively find out what they want.

In some cases, they may not even know what they want, and in other cases, they may have a hard time verbalizing what they have envisioned because they don’t know industry terms and concepts like CSS, Ajax, or relational databases.

The Creative Brief
Fortunately, there’s a tool web designers can use to easily gather this information. It’s called a creative brief. A creative brief is basically a series of questions that you ask your clients so that you can understand the scope and goals of a project.

You can ask these questions during a face-to-face meeting or a phone call — or you can simply make a web form available on your website that handles the answers of your clients.

You should obtain this information in the way you and your clients are most comfortable with — but whatever you do, don’t skip the creative brief because it will become the lifeblood of your project.

What kind of questions should you ask in your creative brief? At the minimum, find out:

The client’s target audience
Their primary and secondary goals for the website
Current branding characteristics
Budget
Deadlines they need to meet
I also like asking clients what websites they like and don’t like to give me a visual idea of where I should be heading and what I should avoid.

You might also want to find out if they need an online store, if they already have a logo (if not, you can make one for them), who will be responsible for maintaining the site once it goes live, and so forth.

You might have unique questions that you will want to include; use them and don’t be afraid to tailor your questions on a per-project basis.

2. Plan
Once you’ve learned what you need to build, it’s time to start planning how you are going to make it happen. Before you can start designing a website, you need to know exactly what, and how, to design it in the first place — and it all starts with creating a design strategy.

Your design strategy for each website you make should be handcrafted to fit the client’s vision (if you are designing a site for yourself, then you would qualify as the client).

So what factors will shape your design strategy? The creative brief will act as the foundation of your plan by providing you with some basic information, such as what your timeframes are and who the target audience of the website is.

It’s especially important to know your audience because it will affect where and how the site gets viewed. For example, will you also need to create a mobile version or an iPad-specific version that works with touch?

Research and Note-Taking
Whatever gaps are left in the overall strategic picture will need to be filled by doing some research of your own. Now is the time to visit competing websites and see what types of designs are already out there in the target market so you will know how to differentiate your own design.

See who comes up first in a Google search and try to find out why. Within 10 minutes, you should be able to start piecing together the beginnings of your design plan.

While you are researching, you’ll also start brainstorming about what colors to use, where to place the call(s)-to-action, what kind of fonts you should use and other similar details.

At this point, you should also be taking notes, snapping screenshots and starting a mood board.

Sketching and Mock-Up
Next, it’s time to create a mock-up and start letting your ideas take on more of a tangible state. I like to start by sketching out my ideas on a regular old piece of paper, as do many other web designers.

Other people prefer to use a wireframing tool like OmniGraffle. During this phase, not only will you want to start thinking seriously about the layout of the site, but also the structure of your site and how the navigation will shape up.

This is your chance to see what works best and a good place to experiment with different ideas before actually hitting Photoshop or Illustrator to create something more concrete.

Pick Your Tools
This part of the process is also the perfect opportunity to assess which tools you will need to use. You absolutely should not fall into a pattern of using a predetermined set of tools for each site you create. It’s a potentially hazardous practice for everyone involved, including the site’s end users and the client (not to mention how monotonous your portfolio would look).

Put some real thought into what content management system would work the best considering the site’s goals, whether or not including Flash at all is a good idea, and so on.

3. Design
Now I know there are many web designers out there who like to skip directly to the design stage without giving a second thought to learning or planning, but design is more than just the act of creating. You want to actually create something good and useful and you just can’t do that without first doing some preliminary work before starting to design.

If you’ve already done the legwork of learning and planning, it makes the actual designing much easier. When you don’t have to worry about the little details, it really opens up a whole new level of effectiveness and productivity because you can focus on more important things.

Once you are ready to start designing, keep in mind that you need to design more than just a home page. You’ll need a design for the sub-pages of your site as well. It can sometimes be easy to design a home page concept, slice it up and start coding only to get to sub-pages and have no direction. You may also need to design a mobile or iPad version of your site as well.

The design phase itself is straightforward. Just open up Photoshop (or your graphics creation tool of choice) and start bringing your mock-up to life. Sweat the details. Make it pixel perfect. Even if you feel like the project you are working on is more boring that staring at a wall for 24 hours straight, put your all into it. Your client will notice and you’ll be proud of the work you did.

You’ll have to decide at this point whether you want to use real content in your design or some dummy text (e.g. Lorem Ipsum). There are plenty of fans in either camp, but I personally prefer to use real copy and photos if they are available to make it as close to reality as possible.

During the design phase, it is incredibly important to seek feedback often to make sure all specified requirements have been met. If the client wants to make changes, now is the time to do it before the design is sliced and coded, making it ten times more difficult to make what would be a simple change if you were to do it during the design phase.

4. Code
Once you have a killer design, you’ll need to turn it into a real, live website. A safe bet, no matter what content management system you are going to be working with, is to start with a generic HTML and CSS template.

Start with a Base Template
If you’re like me, you’ve already got a set of starter HTML and CSS files ready to go that are already linked to each other and already contain some basic starter code (such as a CSS reset).

If you’re not like me and don’t have these generic files at the ready, go ahead and create some that you can reuse at this stage in the future.

Before you go any further, it’s a good idea to go ahead and add in your title, descriptions and meta tags, or at least make a note of what they should be if you are going to be using a content management system later on.

Lay Out the Main Sections and Content
Begin carving up your HTML/CSS by inserting the major sections (your main

s) for your header, footer and content area.

Next, begin adding your text and image content. The goal is to keep your markup as semantic as possible so that each element is meaningful.

Avoid divitis — the act of utilizing too many divs. For example, you don’t need a div just to contain the logo. Try using an instead — it can be styled exactly the same way (e.g. making them into a block elements using the display CSS property)

Validate and Test
Don’t forget to make sure your code validates by using the validation tool provided by the W3C (but also understand that validation tools have shortcomings).

You’ll also need to do some browser testing to make sure the site looks and acts as intended and provides a uniform brand experience no matter how a user accesses it. You can use a tool like Browsershots if you have limited access to different types of computers.

Use Firebug and YSlow to debug your site and make sure your work is running at an optimal speed.

One last thing: don’t forget to implement Google Analytics or your favorite analytics alternative so you won’t miss out on tracking the stats during the big launch.

5. Launch
When you’ve finally perfected the site, it’s time to release it to the public. Launching can mean different things to different people, mostly because there are various content management systems and development circumstances out there.

For instance, if you are redesigning a site that uses a content management system or publishing platform, your launch may be as simple as applying a new theme.

If you are designing a brand new site in a sandbox or local development environment, then "going live" means FTP’ing your files to the production server.

6. Maintain
During your planning phase, you should have determined who will be in charge of site maintenance. If a client is unable to maintain the site, you may want to suggest that they hire you on a regular or as-needed basis to manage and perform maintenance tasks.

During the hand-off/closeout of the project, it might also help to provide some guidelines and basic training to your client to make sure they understand how to properly maintain the site.

How to Recover Lost WordPress (Localhost) Password

2010-08-01T02:46:00.000-07:00

If you design and develop WordPress theme, chances are you’ll have a local (localhost) copy in your machine for testing & debugging and preview purposes. Here’s a common mistake some of us may make – we tend to forget our admin password.

So you’ve forgotten your password, or username, or both. WordPress suggest you use the "Lost your password" function to help recover but email system wasn’t properly setup in your localhost? Here’s how to get you back into the Dashboard quickly.

The Solution

Go into PhpMyAdmin. The URL should be http://localhost/phpmyadmin, but it might vary depending on configurations. Look for the database name on the left sidebar. In our case it’s called “wordpress“.

Click “wordpress“ to see its tables. Look for *_users, in our case it’s called wp1_users. Click it and you’ll notice a page change on the right frame. user_login column shows you all usernames you currently have. If you are looking for usernames, your problem is solved. But if you are looking to recover lost password, there is one more thing you’ll need to do.

Click on the pen icon to edit the data for the specific user. Look for “user_pass” field. Select "MD5" for the Function dropdown, and change it’s value to a new password, in our case the new password is call “admin“. Click GO once you are done.

That’s it! You’ve just changed the password for username admin to “admin".

How To Start A Blog in 9 Easy Steps

2010-07-09T23:55:00.000-07:00

Over the past few weeks, my friends and I wrote about different aspects of blogging and how to position your blog more successful. In this post, I would like to take a step back and talk about how to start a blog. Specifically, I will discuss how to start a self-hosted WordPress blog since we already established that it’s one of the best platforms to start on.

Please note the discussion below assumes that you are interested in monetizing your blog and attracting readership. It’s not as applicable to if you want to blog casually.

1. Establish a business plan for your blog

This doesn’t have to be a full business plan since blogging has a very low cost of entry. But before you begin, there are several things you need to consider:
What’s the main focus of your blog? — I discussed this in Key to Successful Blogging. Be sure to pick a topic that you are passionate and knowledgeable about.

What are you trying to accomplish with your blog? — Do you want to start a blog to complement your business, products, and services? For side income? For notoriety? To open doors to other opportunities? To help others? To keep yourself accountable?

What are your expectations? — How much time are you willing to commit? What level of traffic, subscribers, income do you expect 3 months, 6 months, and a year from now? What would you do if you fail to meet those expectations?

2. Find and register a domain name

Once you have identified your blog’s topic, it’s time to find relevant and brandable domain name. I discussed this topic in detail in How to Create an Amazing Domain Name. I currently use GoDaddy.com and I do recommend them for domain name registration.

3. Find the right web hosting company

Finding the right web hosting company is probably one of the bothersome aspects of starting your own self-hosted web site. I have used many hosting companies in the past, including GoDaddy.com Hosting.

I think the four most important things to do when you start out initially are:

Pick the Linux package over Windows. With Linux you will have greater flexibility with .htaccess and working with PHP.

Pick a host that offers cPanel and phpMyAdmin administrative interfaces.

Use the lowest cost package. Don’t worry, you won’t go over the limits any time soon.

Sign up for 1 month only. Extend an additional month if you are happy and slowly work your way up to full year commitment. Use the money back guarantee if needed.

Here are a few more web hosting companies you could choose from:

4. Install WordPress

Installing WordPress is not too difficult, but it could be challenging if you are unfamiliar with the web. The basic steps are as follow:

1. Download WordPress
2. Unzip and FTP files to your web host
3. Set up database
4. Set up database username and password
5. Update wp-config.php file
6. Run WordPress built-in installation

Akismet –Protection against spams
All in One SEO Pack — Gives your blog basic SEO boost
FeedBurner FeedSmith — Consolidate your feeds into FeedBurner feed
Google XML Sitemaps — Gives your blog basic SEO boost
Smart Archives — Gives your blog cleaner and better archives page. The archives page on Blogthority is a slightly modified version.
Subscribe To Comments — Allows people who left comment to subscribe to the conversation, helps make your blog more interactive
WP-ContactForm — Gives your blog a nice spam protected contact form
WP Super Cache — Makes your blog faster and decreases server load

5. Find and install a WordPress theme

One of the nice thing about WordPress is that there are literally thousands of theme to choose from. With minimal effort you can make your blog looks fairly unique. I discussed this in detail in How to Find the Right WordPress Theme.

6. Install and set up essentials plug-ins

Plug-ins are add on programs that enhance the functionality of WordPress. You can find hundreds of plug-ins at the WordPress plugin directory. However, the ones that I considered essential are:

7. Set up companion accounts and integrate their functionalities

Companion accounts are other online services that make your blog more effective. I shared more information in 12 Essential Companion Accounts for a Successful Blog. Basically, these accounts will help in different aspects like monetization, marketing, traffic generation, search engines optimization, and so on.

8. Configure your WordPress installation

Once you have everything set up and installed, you’ll have to make everything works together. This involves making configuration changes in the administrative control panel, as well as some minor tweaking of your WordPress theme. This latter part will involve a little bit of HTML and PHP programming.

9. Start blogging

That’s it! You’re done and ready to share your ideas with the world. At this point, you’ll want to read How To Grow A New Blog Efficiently and other fine articles to help your blog grow.

Bizarre Websites On Which You Can Kill Time With Style

2010-05-28T22:17:00.000-07:00

Docs.com brings Office document sharing to Facebook

2010-04-26T08:03:00.000-07:00

Facebook and Microsoft have teamed up on a new online document-sharing service that will seamlessly integrate with the popular social networking site. Dubbed Docs.com, the beta site allows users to log in with their Facebook credentials, create Office documents -- Word, Excel and Powerpoint files -- and add friends as either viewers or document editors. New documents will show up in a user's news feed, just like status updates or pictures.

The service is based on Microsoft's upcoming Office 2010 Web Apps suite and tapping into Facebook's large user base might get it off to a good start in the inevitable competition with Google Docs. The question is if collaborating on documents is an activity Facebook users are interested in -- you know the site's not particularly known for boosting productivity at work, right?

Docs.com is currently in a limited beta phase, so anyone can view documents, but in order to edit or create new ones you'll have to join a wait list. Google has also been making a big push around online-document sharing, with a recent slew of updates to its free services and their paid Google Apps for Businesses offering becoming an increasingly popular alternative to desktop suites.

Microsoft Office 2010 RTM ready for download

2010-04-26T07:52:00.000-07:00

About a week after Office 2010 went gold, Technet and MSDN subscribers are now able to download Office 2010 Professional Plus in ISO format for both 32-bit and 64-bit platforms. For those of you who would rather avoid the notoriously slow download speeds of MSDN and choose to utilize less official channels, the SHA checksum is: 0E1840BF1AA81077692AF651BEFB75648CD9FAA7. Microsoft has also made available Sharepoint 2010, which is a complimentary enterprise solution for Office collaboration.

Office 2010 aims to bring a more socially-aware and polished experience to the industry-standard office suite. Some of the new features include live collaboration which supports multiple users editing documents simultaneously, integrated video and image editing tools in PowerPoint, the ability to export virtually any document to a web browser, inherent ODF support for Open Office documents and a cleaner, more consistent ribbon bar experience across all Office applications.

Two days ago, Microsoft also went live with its free, cloud-based companion to Office 2010 -- docs.com. It seems to be a slick competitor to Google Docs has been released under the “beta” label. Interestingly, only Facebook users are allowed exclusive access and there isn’t word on a definite release date for the rest of the world.

If you are not an MSDN or Technet subscriber, you will have to wait until Office 2010 hits store shelves. Retail pricing should be $149 for Home & Student, $279 for Home & Business and $499 for Professional. As an added incentive to buy Office now, those who choose to buy Office 2007 in the meantime will be able to upgrade to 2010 for free.

7 Things Designer Can Learn From Girls

2010-04-23T22:46:00.000-07:00

There are many things everybody can learn from girls, including designers. Whenever we see girls the things we first notice about them is how well she is dressed & how particular they are about in whatever they do. This led me to a thought that what it takes making these girls so perfect & being a designer myself how can I learn things from girls & implement them in my design.

So I had chat with some girls from which I came to know following points that designer can always follow & learn from girls.

1. Time Management

Photo By Chris Gilbert

In comparison to guys, gals are very scheduled in everything they do, they have fix time for various task they perform whole day. Designer can learn time management from girls as whenever designer get involved in any project they don’t track time and end up giving more time than usual in their work, which make them less efficient & unproductive. On other hand girls plan their day in advance, they have their own to-do list which they follow very strictly.Many designer face similar problem of spending huge amount of time on recreational web surfing as searching for inspiration for their work, they should limit this time & should remain focus with their work rather than getting distracted.

2. Experimentation

Photo By Redeemer University

Girls are always experimenting with their look, closet, hair & many other things. In one way or the other they try out things in different ways. By experimenting they keep themselves look fabulous always. Lady Gaga is a good example of getting success with experimenting different looks. In the same way designers also need to experiment with their design rather than just sticking with same methods. Experimentation is very important as people are now open to new ideas & concepts.

3. Color Theory

Girls are particular about their clothes, make-up, accessories, shoes, etc. When you see a girl perfectly dressed, you can easily notice different colors they are wearing, being a designer you can easily find out that they are really good at color combination & patterns. They perfectly wear different colors all around them & carry them off with style. So as a designer you can always look upon girls for inspiration, where you will get lots of idea about color schemes, color palettes & patterns, which you can implement in your next design project.

4. Socializing

Photo By Sagar Patil

Girls easily adjust themselves in new environment, it’s all because they are very talkative in nature & are great social animals. As they make new friends easily & quickly, it all start with a “hi” which ends up creating friends. In design community socializing is really important & designer can always learn a thing or two from girls about socializing.

5. Organization

Photo By David Reber

If you have seen a girls wardrobe you would definitely understand what I mean by learning organization from girls. There are tonnes of things in their room like 100’s of handbags, 1000s of shoes & the list never ends. But whenever they want anything they have quick access to it without loosing anytime. In the same way designer always have huge digital data in their computer which needs to be organized all the time.

6. Bargaining

Photo By Rave Master

Bargaining does not always involve money, but its a kind of negotiation. Girls are really good at negotiating in every kind of situations like shopping, winning in conversation with guys, etc. On other hand designer can use this technique of bargaining with their clients or boss about their design where they can save lots of effort without compromising on creativity.

7. Creativity

Photo By Raja R

I am not wrong if I say Girls are most creative creature on the planet, most of the people will agree with this. Girls don’t like things to be simple they always want something to be added & do things different so they can get noticed. Even designers need to be creative with their work, which will give them an edge over others that will give them a good recognition.

Whenever as a designer you feel low on inspiration & ideas I suggest have a good look at girls & ask them for suggestion, you will definitely get lots of good ideas that will help you get a boost in your creativity.

Please Comment & Share your thoughts.

Good bye Virus

2010-04-17T01:06:00.000-07:00

I found this program in thai website i couldn't remeber. First time i when i used this to remove virus, malware, spyware, i was afraid that this program will delete all files and folders but it didn't.

This removes all viruses such as

Startdrv.exe
Svchost.exe
Explorer.exe which is fake one
nvsvc32.exe disturbs nvidia's driver
spoolsv.exe makes cpu runs 100%
wscntfy.ex

How To use??

1. Simply download frm here.
2. Run in Safe mode, Close all system restores.
3. Run combofix.exe

After that computer restars automatically then go to your normal windows.
Don't do anything untill combofix will show LogReport.

Note: U can also run in normal windows mode, but said to run in safemode coz in safe mode all services are stopped which is not related to windows i.e. all viruses doesn't works.

Pic when Combo fix is runnin

From my experience when solving problem of friends computer 95% of viruses are frm handy drive/pen drive/flash drive. These makes out ram run slow also removes folder option, disable task manager, disable regedit, msconfig, hide folders etc.

Hope this will help you a lot 100%.

Windows 8 to be Release July, 2011 … a Rumor?

2010-04-15T08:54:00.000-07:00

I saw a documentary about Roswell, the place in New Mexico, USA that was supposed to be the place where an alien space craft went down. It supposedly was recovered by the US Air Force and had alien bodies among the wreckage. 60 years later, I smile when I hear how some people regardless of evidence or lack there of continue to believe wild stories about that event. The rumors persist…right?

Well, there are rumors about Windows8. Think of it. First of all, can MicroSoft really pull off selling a new operating system to have consumers buy this close to Windows 7, especially with the critical and commercial success of Windows7? If it had bombed, sure the public would be clamoring for a new one. But that is not the case.

Second, what can you expect from Windows8? To want people to buy the OS, it has to be radically different, otherwise, it will be considered a service pack to Windows7. The 128 bit rumor is around, but to make it really work as a 128 bit OS, then there have to be major rewrites of a lot of supporting software and hardware; otherwise, what’s the point? If the applications can not take advantage of the CPU to perform faster, it will be for nought.

Third, hardware technology must already be available to be incorporated into the next OS otherwise the time frame would be longer, maybe 2012, or even 2013. The technology may already have existed when Windows7 was being built, but was put off to wait for other hardware makers to design hardware around.

Fourth, the Windows8 kernel must be redesigned. If it’s just an extension of the Vista/Windows7 kernel, again what’s the point? Microsoft and their R&D team must be looking at what the next generation must be like, but with the emphasis on new technology.

So having said that about rumors, when will Microsoft release Windows8? From a spreadsheet designed by a Microsoft employee, the timeline is around July 1, 2011. That is a mere 17 months away. Here is a copy of the spreadsheet with the timeline not just for Windows8, but for other MicroSoft products.

So here is the latest rumor. The spreadsheet picks the date of July, 2011 as the release date. What makes this spreadsheet is the supposed origin: a Microsoft employee; furthermore, it has been accurate in the pastfor the software timeline. Take it with a grain of salt; but the rumors may be true.

Folder Option ก็จะกลับมาเหมือนเดิม ลองแล้ว ได้ ชัวร์ๆๆๆๆๆๆ

หน้าจอให้ใส่ Password ของ Admin ให้ปล่อยว่าง ๆ ไว้แบบนี้แล้วกดปุ่ม Next เพื่อทำการติดตั้งต่อไป

เลือก Time Zone ให้เป็นของไทย (GMT+07:00) Bangkok, Hanoi, Jakarta แล้วกดปุ่ม Next เพื่อทำการติดตั้งต่อไป

รอครับ รอ รอ รอสักพัก จนกระทั่งขั้นตอนต่าง ๆ เสร็จเรียบร้อย ก็พร้อมแล้วสำหรับการเข้าสู่ระบบปฏิบัติการ Windows XP ครับ จากนั้น จะมีการบูตเครื่องใหม่อีกครั้ง เพื่อเริ่มต้นการใช้งานจริง ๆ

บูตเครื่องใหม่คราวนี้ อาจจะมีเมนูแปลก ๆ แบบนี้ เป็นการเลือกว่า เราจะบูตจากระบบ Windows ตัวเก่าหรือจาก Windows XP ครับ ก็เลือกที่ Microsoft Windows XP Professional ครับ ถ้าของใครไม่มีเมนูนี้ก็ไม่เป็นไรนะครับ

เริ่มต้นบูตเครื่อง เข้าสู่ระบบปฏิบัติการ Windows XP แล้วครับ

ในครั้งแรก อาจจะมีการถามเรื่องของขนาดหน้าจอที่ใช้งาน กด OK เพื่อให้ระบบตั้งขนาดหน้าจอให้เราได้เลยครับ นอกจากนี้ ถ้าหากเครื่องไหนมีการถาม การติดตั้งค่าต่าง ๆ ก็กดเลือกที่ Next หรือ Later ไปก่อน บางครั้งอาจจะมีให้เราทำการสร้าง Username อย่างน้อย 1 ฃื่อก่อนเข้าใช้งาน ก็ใส่ชื่อของคุณเข้าไปได้เลย

เสร็จแล้วครับ หน้าตาของการเข้า Windows XP สวยดีครับ

และนี่คือหน้าตาแรก ของระบบปฏิบัติการ Windows XP Professional ครับ ต่อไปก็เป็นการปรับแต่ง และการลง Driver ของอุปกรณ์ต่าง ๆ ให้เรียบร้อยต่อไป

มาดูขั้นตอนตั้งแต่เริ่มต้น การติดตั้ง Windows XP กันเลยครับ

เริ่มต้น โดยการเซ็ตให้บูตเครื่องจาก CD-Rom Drive ก่อน โดยการเข้าไปปรับตั้งค่าใน bios ของเครื่องคอมพิวเตอร์ โดยเลือกลำดับการบูต ให้เลือก CD-Rom Drive เป็นตัวแรกครับ (ถ้าหากเป็นแบบนี้อยู่แล้ว ก็ไม่ต้องเปลี่ยนอะไร)

ทำการปรับเครื่อง เพื่อให้บูตจาก CD-Rom ก่อน จากนั้นก็บูตเครื่องจากแผ่นซีดี Windows XP Setup โดยเมื่อบูตเครื่องมา จะมีข้อความให้กดปุ่มอะไรก็ได้ เพื่อบูตจากซีดีครับ ก็เคาะ Enter ไปทีนึงก่อน

โปรแกรมจะทำการตรวจสอบและเช็คข้อมูลอยู่พักนึง รอจนขึ้นหน้าจอถัดไปครับ

เข้ามาสู่หน้า Welcome to Setup กดปุ่ม Enter เพื่อทำการติดตั้งต่อไป

หน้าของ Licensing Agreement กดปุ่ม F8 เพื่อทำการติดตั้งต่อไป

ทำการเลือก Drive ของฮาร์ดดิสก์ที่จะลง Windows XP แล้วกดปุ่ม Enter เพื่อทำการติดตั้งต่อไป

เลือกชนิดของระบบ FAT ที่จะใช้งานกับ Windows XP หากต้องการใช้ระบบ NTFS ก็เลือกที่ข้อบน แต่ถ้าจะใช้เป็น FAT32 หรือของเดิม ก็เลือกข้อสุดท้ายได้เลย (no changes) ถ้าไม่อยากวุ่นวาย แนะนำให้เลือก FAT32 นะครับ แล้วกดปุ่ม Enter เพื่อทำการติดตั้งต่อไป

โปรแกรมจะเริ่มต้นขั้นตอนการติดตั้ง รอสักครู่ครับ

หลังจากนั้น โปรแกรมจะทำการ Restart เครื่องใหม่อีกครั้ง (ให้ใส่แผ่นซีดีไว้ในเครื่องแบบนั้น แต่ไม่ต้องกดปุ่มใด ๆ เมื่อบูตเครื่องใหม่ ปล่อยให้โปรแกรมทำงานไปเองได้เลยครับ)

หลังจากบูตเครื่องมาคราวนี้ จะเริ่มเห็นหน้าตาของ Windows XP แล้วครับ รอสักครู่

โปรแกรมจะเริ่มต้นขั้นตอนการติดตั้งต่าง ๆ ก็รอไปเรื่อย ๆ

จะมีเมนูของการให้เลือก Regional and Language ให้กดปุ่ม Next ไปเลยครับ ยังไม่ต้องตั้งค่าอะไรในช่วงนี้

ใส่ชื่อและบริษัทของผู้ใช้งาน ใส่เป็นอะไรก็ได้ แล้วกดปุ่ม Next เพื่อทำการติดตั้ง

ทำการใส่ Product Key (จะมีในด้านหลังของแผ่นซีดี) แล้วกดปุ่ม Next เพื่อทำการติดตั้งต่อไป แต่ เด่ว ขอพัก ก่อน พรุ่งนี้มาต่อใหม่ นะครับ
