THE ESSENTIALS
1. Website Concepts
What is it?
The concept is a visual mock-up of what your website will look like. It will show what elements (pictures, videos, text, buttons...etc) are to be included in the site, and also illustrates their placement on the page.
The concept created will exist as nonfunctional and inactive until our client is satisfied with it; and have given our company the approval to proceed with the coding processes of the website, which will convert the visual mock-up into an actual interactive, and functional website.
Why do I need it?
Concepts are an essential step of web design as it provides a means of laying out the appearance of the site before we begin programming. Concepts are also useful for identifiying potential problems in the initial designs of the site, and also allows us to figure out if certain elements need to be added, removed, relocated...etc..
2. Coding
What is it?
In order to make the website concepts functional, they need to be coded using programming languages such as HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, etc.
Why do I need it?
The coding process creates a list of instructions that are understood by your web browser and allow it to display the site in the way you desire, as well as add functionality that can interact with a user. Without such instructions, the website will not be able to do anything.
3. Content Management System (CMS)
What is it?
A content management system is an online adminstrative tool that allows website owners to easily update their website’s contents without having to know anything about programming or web development. Such tools are usually used to update text, pictures, videos, and audio of a website. It can also be used to manage things such as mailing lists, viewing statistics, organizing testimonials, viewing survey results...etc.
Why do I need it?
Whenever you wish to update the contents of your website, you can do so in a convenient way without having to reprogram any of the original code. A content management system will allow you to update the contents of your website easily and quickly.

Without a hosting server, your website will not be accessible on the internet and therefore cannot be accessed by users.
A Dot-com name will make your site look more professional and turstworthy. It will also help uesrs to remember how to access your site if the address is short and easy to remember.
