Step 4. Building the Website

• Tools:
  What tools and programs do I need?
• Standards:
  Covered earlier, but still relevant. What are the standards I should follow? Which matter and which are trivial?
• Content:
  What is content, why do I need it?
• Learn HTML or use an editor?
  WYSIWYG v. HTML editors
  All about editors and how to chose one
  • Dreamweaver, now called Adobe Creative Suite 3, Adobe CS3 Web Standard - the top notch tool for wb design professionals; also horrifically expensive.
  • ExpressionWeb from Microsoft (formerly called FrontPage ), good, solid web design tool for most people, moderately prices (around $100 on sale)
  • Free editors
• Interactive (or Dynamic) Websites
  What are PHP, ASP, ColdFusion, Flash and JSP?
  How do I do it?
• Database-Driven Websites
  What are databases and why or when do I need one?
  MySQL, Postgre, SQLServer?
