Web Development

 

Web Development is digitalpages, (a Minneapolis, Minnesota company) function of making the web site. There is a difference between web site development and web design.

Web site design is a creative process that takes the information about why a web site is needed, the function of the web site, who will use the web site, how they will use the web site, what information needs to be presented and designs a blue print for the web development team. The development team then begins the process of web development. 

Elements that the team uses to develop the site include HTML coding, JavaScript coding so that features such as drop-down buttons can be used, graphics, placement of graphics, placement of pictures, cropping pictures, and sizing of pictures. The web development group also constructs flash presentations, if applicable. This includes flash layout and testing. Flash design requires very sophisticated development applications. 

Additional elements of web development include buttons, button construction, button size, and button behavior. Examples of button behavior are button appearance and color on mouse over and appearance and color on click and click release. Akin to graphics and pictures are forms. Web form site development requires special coding in order to get an interactive response from the user. Web forms can also be coded to require and check for certain kinds of data input such as email. The form can check to make sure that the proper email format is being inputted.  

The most important part of web development is content. This is the information that is provided to the web site visitor. The site owner should provide the majority of the content because the web site owner knows its business better than anyone else. The web developer is responsible for content placement. Elements of content placement include the site style sheets (for consistency in the website look and feel), fonts, font colors, the page layout, page color, and color matching so the site is pleasing to the visitor, and tables to provide important information, and invisible or visible tables for website layout consistency. 

It is very important for the web development team to put together a good link structure. Links are the means of navigating within the website and of navigating to other web sites. 

Other functions that are related directly or indirectly to web development are database construction, site optimization, testing and maintenance.
