Building Professional Web Sites with the Right Tools

Start by identifying your site's goals and making the business case for building it. Create a high-level design; make
key up-front technology decisions; and plan for feedback and advertising. Establish site-wide standards that will
make your life much easier as your site grows; create a database and integrate it with your site; design graphics
and navigation; and much more. Walk through building feedback pages; tracking broken links; and providing site
help. Finally, plan and execute site tests - and go live. Hands-on and practical, this book covers the nitty-gritty
day-to-day tasks other Web development books miss, and helps you build your site faster and more effectively
than ever.
