Decide your Website Components
To make your website complete, you need the main components below:
Front End: Website Design & Content
The front end is what people see on your website. Whether the visitors would click through your website, or re-visit, is largely determined by its design and content. A good graphic designer would give you a visually appealing website with appropriate images, fonts and layout. At the same time, technical aspect would also be considered into the whole design.
Back End: Website Building & Development
The back end is what makes the website work. It lies in the hand of web developers who build your site and write back-end codes. They write the HTML code, the common language of the web, to allow visitors to see the images and read your text on their browsers. Other back end terms include:
JavaScript: a scripting language to enable an interactive site with simple functionality such as pop-up windows, animation, and making sure users have filled out forms correctly.
ASP & PHP: scripting language to enable customization and interactivity for your website such as gathering data from visitors or showing account information.
CSS: Cascading Style Sheets that allow you to control the look of the website easily from a central file.
Flash: it adds animation and interactivity to your website.
Hosting: It refers to the computer or server where your website is run. Basically, you need a server connected to the Internet to allow your customers to access your website. Hosting services should also cover data backup and data security.
E-Commerce: Direct selling of products through your website is usually considered as a separate project from the website construction. The back end tools to set up and run the online store are different and so the pricing for the e-commerce services.
