Searching for Web DesignerS
The field of web design has grown tremendously
and there are several issues you must keep in mind when looking
for a web designer. For example, some companies offer what is frequently
refered to as "affordable web design" or "cheap web
design," meaning that they may be willing to build your website
for a significantly lower fee than many other companies.
If you want to hire a company in Atlanta, Georgia,
be sure to shop around to make sure you are getting a worthwhile
deal. Even a small 5-page website can range from $100 to $1,000
depending on the work that goes into the design, whether it has
a database, if it is optimized for search engines, and so on. Consider
looking at previous work and ask to speak to the web designer's
other clients.
Website Programming
Every business needs a unique website
to cater to their specific needs. Websites differ in their
complexities and every web designer integrates the art and science
of web design in a different manner. It is up to you as a business
owner to make sure you are getting what you need for the agreed
price.
Various technical areas in website development
include: standard programming such as HTML, the more complex yet
useful CSS (Cascading Style Sheets), custom programming such as
.ASP, SQL, MySQL, PHP, CGI, JAVA, Perl, C++, and .NET, and websites
designed with Flash which yields a more dynamic and animated site.
If your website requires a database, look for
a web designer who can use Access, SQL Server, Oracle, among others.
An e-commerce website is needed for businesses that need a secure
online shopping carts system. Perhaps lesser known but quite important
are the content management system companies which make it easier
to maintain a large website and offer easy to use interfaces.
Some of the most popular programs used in website
development include FrontPage (by Microsoft), Dreamweaver
(by Macromedia), and GoLive (By Adobe). These web site editing tools
are called WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) editors.
