Make Your Website Dynamic
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Maneet_Puri]Maneet Puri

Make your site dynamic! “What do you mean by a dynamic website?” – A website integrated with the database to generate information that visitors see is called a dynamic website. The antonym of dynamic website is a static website, which means that information displayed on the web pages is hard coded in them.

There are many benefits of having a dynamic website – the webmaster can make easy updates to information without fiddling with the source code of the website, generating different forms of information depending upon the visitor or input without creating separate pages for each possible output, give flexibility of adding as many pages as required without manually generating pages and uploading on the server, consistency while displaying information through out the website can be maintained, can offer different features for different type of users to avail services from the website respective to there domain, and the list goes on……

“How can a website be made dynamic?” – Embedding database related codes of any server side scripting language to the pages of website makes the website dynamic. Possible options for the server side scripting language you can use for your website depends on the operating system of the server on which your site is hosted. For Windows based server commonly used languages include PHP, ASP, ASP.NET, C#, Cold fusion etc., and for the Linux based server the options are PHP, Perl, Python, etc.

A considerable number of server side scripting languages are available to choose from but I am found of PHP (Hypertext Preprocessor) and always suggest it as the scripting language, the reasons for this liking are: -

a) First it runs on Linux as well as Windows server.

b) It’s a freeware so no cost of purchasing

c) The syntax is easy to learn and get used to.

d) It has a wide range of in-built features

e) Offers connectivity with most of the available database servers

f) Easy installation on server and easy configuration with other third party components

g) Is an object oriented programming language

h) It does not require any plug-in on client’s machine to get executed, it is complied on the server end and outputs the result in the form of HTML.

There are many such features which makes PHP not just my favorite but is a preferred language of many web developers.

“How to check if your server support PHP or not?” – Copy the piece of code below in a text editor and save the file as phpinfo.php, now upload it on your web server in the folder where you upload HTML pages. If it’s root of the server then type the URL http://www.yourdomainname.com/phpinfo.php in the address bar. If the output is a configuration then it means your server supports PHP and if it prompts to save the file then your server does not support PHP, you will have to ask your ISP to enable it for your domain.

Go to http://www.php.net/ to find more, learn and download PHP. Give it a try and you will realize how easy it is to use and to what extent it gives you the flexibility to make your website interactive and feature rich.

Website Content for Artisans and Craftsmen
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Louise_Coulson]Louise Coulson

It is almost a cliché to say that "content is king" when it comes to presenting your website to the public, but it rings true time after time. Even the powers-that-be at the search engines say they are most interested in content. Its time to take them seriously.

Artisans and craftsmen have both advantages and disadvantages when it comes to providing content to site visitors. Your work is fascinating, unique and frequently based in historical tradition. Articles and information about a specific craft, trends, techniques, design, and materials can provide great content for the artisan website, but the articles on your should target your buyer rather than others in your field. We have seen craftsmen and artisans who set up links, articles, tips, and white papers and even tutorials to appeal to others in their field. Obviously, this doesn't make any sense if you are trying to provide content that attracts buyers for your pieces.

SEO (Search Engine Optimization) and linking campaigns are necessary and fairly simple but time consuming, but it is not all that a site needs to get better positions in the search engines. Your content needs to be well written, current, relevant to your product, unique and accurate.
Your unique content can include some of the following:

Trends in your fieldHow to care for the workHistory of your particular type of workHow to use your pieces with their own wardrobe (if it is wearable art) or in their own homes (if it is a decor or furniture item)Legends about historical pieces similar to your workInformation about materials you useMyths about the raw materialsHistorical information about the origins of your techniquesDo's and Don'ts associated with your pieces (this can about care, use or storage of your pieces)Plans for future piecesA journal showing what is currently on your workbenchAn article describing your design process from idea to completion.Quizzes about some phase of your work from technique to tools or materials.Games such as crossword puzzles or word searches that feature the vocabulary of your type of workA planner or worksheet so your customer can plan how the piece will fit into his or her wardrobe or homeCalendar of your show scheduleScreen savers featuring your pieces

The style of writing used on a Web site is different from that used in print media. People seem to scan pages rather than reading them. Reading from the monitor is tiring for the eyes and is about 25% slower than reading printed material. The Internet is so full of information that the reader will may move on to another site quickly, so information needs to be easily accessible. These basic techniques will help make your content readable and accessible to your visitors.

Use short sentences and paragraphs.Use headlines and sub heads so your reader can scan the page.Check your grammar and spelling.Use lists and bullets for easy accessibility.The font used in your web page needs to be large enough to read - 12. pt. is standard.
Once your site is online, the time spent on the site is either spent on marketing or keeping your content current. Attention to current and relevant content will pay you back in site visitors.

User Interface Design: Key to Achieve Best Web Development
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Nikhil_Salvi]Nikhil Salvi

From early days of www, the Internet sites that are added day by day are increasing tremendously. When you will consider this pool of web, may be they are about computers, industry, entertainment, search engines, fashion, organizational or even individual, all of these sites are concerned about one major part of web development apart from the logic or programming efforts behind it is ‘User Interface Design’.

Any web site will gain your interest by its appearance in front of you as well as ease of using and understanding the contents in that particular page. Therefore many of the web developers out there are always trying to go for the best user interface design which must also be affordable, can be either done by the developer firm or by web developer individual himself or he have to outsource the site for user interface creation.

The main stages in the creation of the user interface can be roughly listed as follows:

1. Note down all the aspects of your web site,

2. Try to list items as per their priority on the web page as well as consider their categorization.

3. From this list highlight points that are required to be catchy (e.g. in most of the general web site the Chat / Mail / News are considered to be the most catchy points whereas on the online shopping site the special offers and hot selling items may be the most catchy points).

4. Then decide the color combination of your interface (As per my point of view this is the most crucial part which many of them out there do not take into consideration which results in to a web site which is nothing but a site full of color in fact site looking like a circus! (You can understand what I want to say). So if you are rally very careful about the richness of the user interface then you should not fail to consider this point.

5. Once you have decided the color combination you have already won half the battle. Now you have to draw a picture of how your web page will look like finally, where on the web page I will place the catchy points I have listed previously, what will be common between the web pages (A date and time may be there from home page to the last page of your web site).

6. Finalize placing of all the remaining points in the list prepared by you.

7. If required repeat the steps for all the succeeding pages in your web site.

8. Then and only then go for designing of the web pages using various tools.

You may take help of various image-editing softwares like Adobe Photoshop, Paintshop Pro, even normal paintbrush for giving effect to the various images, backgrounds used in the page design. You can also embody various animations in your web page to give it a nice touch. You can try Macromedia Flash, GIF Animator or Animationshop for the same.

Some important tips-n-tricks of making your web page look catchier than ever will be discussed in my next articles.

Remember more effective and easier user interface - more the number of visitor (or even customer) who will specially halt at your site to check it out.

Scope and Features of Website Design and Application Development in India
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Varun_Saxena]Varun Saxena

Nowadays, most of the web application development projects fizzle or remain unsuccessful in fulfilling user's requirements. If somehow projects are completed, then they go beyond the set budgets and time lines.

Scope of the Web Application

Prior to start developing a web application, scope of the application should be thoroughly analyzed and documented, considering the users of the product, it's benefits to them, etc..

Competitor Analysis

Review competitor's websites, figure out the goods and bads in the other website. This will help you to know the dos and don'ts which can lead your application overtake your competitors. Additionally you can consider other functionalities that you can add in your web application.

Practical Solutions

Don't rush towards web application development process, before starting the process, thoroughly estimate the time in man- hours, resources needed, etc.. Document everything you discuss, allot and your micro parts of the applications and all complexities involved. This will surely help in making your project a success.

Don't Push your schedule

It is suggested not to push the development process or prepone the schedule for marketing reasons. Modifications in the schedule may lead to several bugs, which may cost even more than the estimated. Hurrying your programmer to complete the modules before the time specified for that, can not help the application development a success. If you are managing the project keep the original estimated time and the development plan and not the exigency.

Quality Testing

Test your application with different possible and impossible parameters as many times as you can. Intensive testing is needed in this competitive product world. Use effective testing tools and methods that most appropriately works with your applications.
Besides product or module testing, everybody involved in the process should follow the standards and procedures of the company. If your team does not have a good stand on Quality you can not achieve quality web application.

Be a little more careful and particular, I am sure your application will be a success.

Top Website Design- 3 Vital Elements You Can Learn for the Best Website Design
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Cynthia_Pinsonnault]Cynthia Pinsonnault

A top Website design has 3 things going on that together improve search engine rank and help make customers out of site visitors.

There's usability.

The most important thing to consider is your Website's usability. Everything else in a unique Website design should interact with the usability.

There's search engine optimization.

Search engines are looking for the same things users are looking for in a site and they will recognize and reward a usable Website design. And SEO feeds the Website usability if the site is optimized properly on relevant keywords. For example, the very first part of Web usability is assisting users to find what they are seeking. Good keyword research and placement in your pages does that. So Website usability and search engine optimization work together.

And then the last element is aesthetics.

If Website usability and search engine optimization create an easy-to-find, easy-to-use Website, then aesthetics becomes icing on the cake, creating a unique Website design, building a brand image, making a more inviting site, and helping visitors feel more comfortable, all of which feeds back to the Website usability and search engine optimization results.

You need all 3.

All 3 of these elements go into the unique Website design of a page. All of them are part of designing a Web page and if you leave out any one of them you reduce the effectiveness of the Website design just that much.

Great search engine optimization will only bring people to your Website. It won't make a sale. A gorgeous Website design that no one can find produces nothing. An easily found and beautiful Website that is hard to understand, has very little valuable information and uses sloppy navigation will only hold the Website visitor's attention for so long until they move on to less stressful Websites.

So top Website designs use, first and foremost, good usability techniques because if people get to your Website and they can't use it, then none of the other work has meant anything. So that's first. It has to be a usable Website design. Then, the Website has to be well optimized for search engines so that people will find it. And finally, you want a unique Website design that is professional looking and attractive enough to hold the interest of visitors and make them want to see more.

What can you do to improve the balance between these 3 elements on your Website?
