Web site development is a complex process that
involves many steps and tasks that range from
budgeting to design and evaluation. First, you need
to define the scope of your project and determine a
budget for site development. Then you need to
survey and map the structure of your information.
The next step is to establish a look and feel for your
site, and then comes the actual construction of your
site. Once your site is finished you need to make sure
people know that it's there and how to find it. Finally,
you should spend time evaluating your site's
effectiveness. As you embark on the process of
developing a Web site, keep these steps in mind and
make sure that you have the organizational backing,
budget, and personnel you need to make the project
a success.
