CMS choice

When talking about the process of building company website I mentioned choosing the proper CMS (Content Management System) and the importance of that choice. I promised to elaborate the subject. First of all – a little reminder: In terms of type of licensing CMS systems can be divided into 3 main groups: a) free of charge/non-commercial – Open Source (e.g. eZ Publish, Joomla, Drupal); b) commercial and widely accessible (e.g. DotNetNuke, SharePoint, Sitefinity); c) commercial, created by...

Gone are the times when a website comprised static documents connected with fixed hyperlinks. The content of such a website could only be modified by a webmaster who either needed to be paid for each adjustment or in the form of a salary. Nowadays a website is an Internet application – a construction comprising the following 3 elements (layers): 1. graphic templates 2. scripts 3. content (both text and graphic) Scripts are responsible for loading content from a database and displaying it through...
When will my website appear in Google?

A corporate website’s launch, i.e. the moment when the website is published, is actually not equivalent to instantly appearing in Google search results. If a newly created website replaces an old one, Google only needs to update the information in its own database (called the index) with respect to the new information. However, if an entirely new website with a new URL address is published, Google needs to find it first and add it to the index. It is possible to add a URL to Google under http://www.google.pl/addurl/?continue=/addurl....

Previous parts of the article: part 1: Planning part 2: Choice of technology and contractor Graphics Decisions concerning the layout of the website, that is its graphic design and layout on individual screens, need to be made very cautiously as they are irreversible. “Irreversible” might be too big of a word. The thing is that every new stage in developing the website is affected by what has been done previously. A late change in the customer’s decision requires going back one or...

Previous part of the article: part 1: Planning Choice of technology Entrusting an interactive agency with the task of choosing the right technology is only seemingly the best solution. Having received no particular details from the client, the contractor would feel fully free in designing the website. However, such a solution might mean that the agency would choose the best technology for itself and not for its customer. The key decision to make is to choose the appropriate operating system –...
The process of building company website – part 1: Planning
By Brandon Line | Posted on 10-05-2010
Companies build their websites relatively rarely – usually at the very beginning of their business activity and then approximately every 3-4 years depending on environment changes. By environment I mean technology (e.g. display resolutions), current trends (e.g. fashion for videos) as well as competitiveness because it is important never to stay behind competitors. Moreover, also significant changes within an organization such as rebranding or major labour turnovers (a new Board of Directors or...
