 ën this phase, communication between


both you and your designer is crucial to
ensure that the final web site will match
your needs and taste.
 ët is important that you work closely with
your designer, exchanging ideas, until
you arrive at the final design for your
web site.
Y ë a
 the point where the web site itself is
created.
 ahis is typically done by first developing
the home page, followed by a ³shell´ for
the interior pages.
 Elements such as interactive contact
forms, flash animations or ecommerce
shopping carts are implemented and
made functional during this phase.
i aë Y
 During development phase there are 3 main
steps. ahey are:

1. Get a domain name: A domain name is your


address on the web. ët's the information that
customers type in to find your website. ët's
what comes after the www.
Y  

www.DomainName.com , www.DomainName.edu
, www.DomainName.net , etc«
http://www.google.com : Google.com is the domain
name.
http://www.uwest.edu/site/page.html : UWest.edu is
the domain name (the rest are just folders and
files. µsite¶ is a folder, page.html is the web page
file)
You need to µrent¶ this name by registering for it,
usually on a year by year basis.
Vendors: godaddy.com,networksolutions.com
http://www.godaddy.com
Y ! 
 General rules of thumb:
— .com = commercial
— .edu = educational institution
— .net = anything goes.
— .org = non-profit organization

 You can purchase a domain first, without buying hosting


service. Or you can purchase it as a package. Many
hosting companies offer the package.
 You will have to direct this domain to the ëP address
provided by your host.
 ët could take up to 24-48 hours to µresolve¶: to have all
computers online associate the domain name with the
host that has your files.

2. Choose a web host :

 
  * +
 A web host stores the web site you create on
their servers and transmits it to the internet so
that when someone types in your domain
name, your web site appears. A server is just
a fancy computer that "serves up" your web
site to the internet.

2. Choose your Hosting Plan

the web site files to your server.
