Design Stage: Implementation

Implementation is the stage of creating the site according to its design using hypertext markup language (HTML), Common Gateway Interface (CGI) programs, and/or Java scripts and/or applets.

The implementation stage resembles software development because it involves using a specific syntax for encoding web structures or a programming language in a formal language in computer files. Although there are automated tools to help with the construction of HTML documents, a thorough grounding in HTML would be extremely valuable.

Key Implementation Practices

• At the outset, create an extendible directory and file structure to manage the web's files and/or software components (CGI or Java programs).
• Use HTML tools where helpful.
• Check the site's implementation across various browsers.
• Use templates for supporting consistent look and feel.
