For the purpose of being able to test the web programming scripts, I also considered the installation of the Web server. Basically the implementation of these sub-systems was a continuous and ongoing process with only those systems of higher priority, as at their present deadlines, receiving attention.

Web site Structure
For designing the website, one issue is usually using the appropriate tool to use. There are two applications that I always consider, Microsoft FrontPage and Macromedia Dreamweaver. Not a hard choice to make, as Macromedia Dreamweaver is considered by many to be the one of the best development tools for the creation of dynamic sites.

The software allows for visual HTML development using a WYSIWYG (pronounced "wisiwig", What You See Is What You Get) editor, which creates the code for you. Alternatively, a developer can hand code, or amend the created code in a text editor, which colour codes the tags for ease of use.

The very first page that was created ultimately became the home page for the site. When this page is being created, other considerations are made for the appropriate structure to apply to the interface, such as background colour, page measurements, and even font type and size.

Also, while trying to figure out the structure of the web pages, I had to consider recommendations made by the clients to improve usability of the site for the eventual users of the site.

Once all these issues had been considered and I had got a structure for the web interface that was satisfactory to all the stakeholders involved, the implementation of the website began in earnest with the creation of a template document (using the homepage design) with editable regions, that would be replicated over again to create the other pages of the site.

Folder Structure
While working on the website, all the web pages created are saved to the web folder of a local directory. Another folder is created within the original folder that will hold the images, usually called 'images'. The number of pages for a large website are usually many and can make the web folder appear cluttered and untidy. As such it becomes necessary to create other sub-folders for the different pages being created. These sub-folders were divided into the different headings of the site and were created to hold the sub-category web pages of those headings.

Creating these sub-folder was very useful as it made the web folder appear much tidier and each page could be associated with the accompanying folder title appearing in the URL.

Database Structure
It was very important to think through the database structure for the website. Issues to be considered included building a database that was adaptable for use by the client database administrator, and one that would be flexible to use with the different web technologies that are considered.

As opposed to Microsoft SQL Server and Oracle that are licensed database software, my choice for the database structure was the MySQL database. This is because MySQL is an open source database system (simply means it is free to use and one can make changes to the source code) and rather well suited to web hosting.

I created the databases using PHPmyadmin, which is software that allows users to create and manage MySQL databases using a user friendlier interface. I also finally succeeded in creating and populating the database tables that were going to be continuously updated by users from inputs made into the forms in the website.

Web site code
For this project, there were two main web-programming languages that were used; they are PHP and JavaScript. PHP, a server side scripting language, was used to write scripts that would respond to a users input on the HTML forms in the website, updating the consequent information to the MySQL database, and also send automated email responses to the user that provided such information.

JavaScript was used to write programs that would enable the display of advert banners that were created to advertise specific services provided by the client that would be of particular interest to visitors of the site. JavaScript code is placed within the head of the HTML code of the web page, while PHP code is usually placed within the body of the HTML code of the necessary pages.

Final Web site
With the major implementation issues resolved, I arrived at the point where I was able to then implement my final website for the project. The final website involved having a working site that met the aims and objectives as stated by the original systems analysis and design.

This also involved ensuring that the site was up and running, could be previewed successfully in browsers such as Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator from any location.
