WEB HOSTING,

CONTENT CREATION

MANAGEMENT,

WEBSITE DESIGN AND

CONSTRUCTION,

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

Types Of Web Hosting

Shared Hosting

Dedicated Server Hosting

Co-located Server Hosting

3

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?

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).
