As a first step, you will have to talk to the site owners to know what the objectives of the site owners are. You can’t just make assumptions. All sites are not the same. The creation of prototypes helps you communicate how the website will function to the owners.
Building Web applications
A website is made up of web pages. Coding of web pages is essential. You will need to use a variety of software. Based on the content you can code your web pages using HTML or use popular web development software including FrontPage and Dreamweaver. Development and design may involve setting up interactive forms, shopping carts, mailing lists and online programs. To provide some of these features, other Web programming tools and software at your disposal include: Java, VBScript, MS-SQL, ACCESS, MySQL CGI, Perl, Visual C++, C, Cold Fusion, SQL, JSP, ASP, Flash, PHP, XML and DHTML.
While programming is essential, you should make sure it is combined with aesthetics, presentation, design, layout and navigation features for an effective website.
Testing, Problem-solving, Support
Testing is also a critical function as it is wise to always get a feel of the application before it goes live. Testing is essential for determining if it meets the website owner’s objectives. You need to get feedback from owners and users to the website's effectiveness.
After the website becomes available on the Internet, support and maintenance can be provided by Web Developers (Administrators) to make corrections, to keep the site current, to perform site analysis and to update the site with new content and applications required by the website owners.
