Now's the time to do the dirty work. If you have never done a website before and don't know how to code then there are websites out there that will teach you how to do this. Just don't expect fast results. It takes time to learn it all. Luckily, there are industry tips for coding that make it easier...

• to maintain the files for adminstrative purposes
• to optimize the code so that it runs faster and
• to enhance the code for search engine compatibility

Because of the items listed above, we recommend that you seek professional help - especially if it is your first time and you need more than a single page website! You might be able to do the design for yourself but it's pretty hard to code the website. You normally create the files on your computer and then transfer them to the web server that will be hosting your website. Organization becomes critical. Remember what we said in Essential Design Elements.

Organization and Administration

Refer to the diagram below...the site map.

Create as many directories and subdirectories as you have different file types. For example, one for images; one for template files such as headers, footers and css files; and then for one each for Products, Services, Specials, About Us and finally Contact Us. Within each of these directories create a folder for current, old and underdevelopment - this way you can keep track of where you've been, what is current and where you are going. You don't want to get these files mixed up! And you don't want to write one over the other. This is really important when it comes to testing and implementation.

Once you've created your files you will want to test them. You can test them on your computer before you transfer them to the web server. When you transfer them to the web server you will want to put them into the under development directory. Make sure that you have optimized your code to allow for web search engines. From here, you can test your website files in the web server environment. There are tools available that can hit your website a specified number of times to test you web servers capabilities and the website code's robustness. Search to see what is available.

When you are satisfied that your website files are functioning seemlessly, you can transfer your files into the current subdirectory thus completing the implementation of your website.
