Overview
A web hosting company is one that rents out
space on their server for a monthly fee.
To run a web site you need access to a server,
and although you could operate your own
server, it is usually easier and more
convenient to use a third party.
2
Shared Hosting
Your site is given a section of a server, which
is shared with other web sites. This is the
most common type of hosting, and the most
affordable.
It is often referred to as ‘virtual’ or ‘budget’
hosting.
4
Dedicated Server Hosting
The next stage up. You rent an entire server
for your site.
This gives you more control over your web
space. It also tends to be more reliable, holds
more content, and can handle more bandwidth
than shared hosting. Predictably, it is also
more expensive.
5
Co-located Server Hosting
The most advanced level of hosting, this is
where you own the server and the hosting
company simply provides the maintenance for
it.
You have full and complete control of your
server.
6
Establish Your Requirements
How much space you need?
What bandwidth you’ll require?
Do you need E-mail aliases?
Do you need URL redirects?
Do you need Web mail?
Do you need Autoresponders?
7

What can the CMS do?
Allows web page updates using an ordinary web
browser (e.g. IE, Firefox, Safari, Mozilla etc.)
Reduces overall work as those responsible for
content can update it directly and submit it for
approval
Allows different access levels for individuals
with different roles (e.g. Authors, Editors,
Managers)
16
What can the CMS do?
Enables documents to be published for fixed
terms; older versions of documents can be re-
used (versioning)
Especially good for simple content pages.
17
What it does not do
Does not write content!
Does not create site structure – needs
planning
Is not a design tool
Does not create images
Does not automatically link pages in to a site
and make them visible

Website Design
Technical definitions:
A webpage is a single HTML document
A website is a collection of related webpages
Designing a good website requires more than
just putting together a few pages
24
Good Design is
Understandable
Interesting
Easy to use
Uniform in look and feel
Done from a visitor’s point of view:
WYSIWYW (What You See Is What You WANT)
25
Pre-design Work
Consider your organization’s mission
Define the target audience
Set goals for the web site
Immediate
Long-term
Gather content
Organize and establish hierarchy of content
26
More Pre-design Work
Create an outline or plan for content
Create your web site on paper first
Use a flowchart to depict how visitors will go from one page to another
Think about the actual HTML, PDF, graphic, sound, and other files you will need in the site
Where will they be placed?
How will visitors access them?
Organize the files logically, so that the development team can understand the hierarchy of the web pages.
27
Influences of Technology on
Design
Browsers
Operating systems
Connection speeds
User screen sizes
28
Influences of Content on
Design
The content drives how the web site looks
Use quality content from subject matter experts
Have site reviewed PERIODICALLY by key
members (CEOs, Department Heads,
Supervisors, etc.) of the group the site supports
Have non-affiliated people review content for
clarity
Have others proofread for grammar
29
Usability
Most users absorb data visually.
Most users will not expend effort to remember
things about how your site works.
30
Usability -- Making It Easy
To Read
Poor eyesight of users
Smaller, older computer monitors as displays
Poor color perception of users
“Cocktail-party” effect -- lots of information on a single web page
Use high contrast between text and background
Use lots of white space
Use larger fonts
Put key navigation buttons in the upper left
Don’t rely on color alone to distinguish between elements on a web page
Avoid busy graphics
Limit page noise -- ensure page elements don’t compete for a visitor’s attention
31
Usability -- User’s Memory
Don’t force visitors to remember how to
navigate/use the site
Provide redundant, easily recognizable
features
Generally, have visited and unvisited links be
different colors to make it easy for users to
remember where they’ve been
Limit the number of items in a group of choices
32
Responsive Web Designing
or RWD
Responsive Web Designing (RWD) is a
process of designing a single website to be
used and compatible on different portable or
handy electronic devices.
Also known as Adaptive Web Designing
(AWD).
