How Are Web Sites Built?

  Before any work is done, we decide on the goal of the web development project. We will want to revisit this periodically to ensure we are moving toward this goal. Next we will ask you questions like...

   Who is your audience?

   What type of message do you want to convey?

   What type of information do you want your web site to contain?
  (Contact, services, products, special promotions, news, etc.)

   What sort of impression should the site leave with the visitor?
  (Conservative, progressive, friendly, formal, casual, serious, experts, humorous, professional, etc.)





What Technical Skill Is Needed?

   Web Sites are authored using a Markup Language called HTML. There have been core improvements to this like DHTML, XHTML, XML and CSS. All these technologies are used to layout web pages.

  Sophisticated web sites are also developed with scripting launguaes, such as, JavaScript, VB Script, and PHP to name a few. These provide for the development of dynamic and interactive web sites, and interaction with database systems. An understanding of programing is required.

   The Macromedia Flash Development enviornment is also used to provide dynamic, and interactive websites, along with vector animation. Flash is also used as a multimedia development tool as well.

What Tools Are Used?

  Web Sites are created using a variety of software devlopment products. Listed below are the tools we use for building custom websites.
