Overview
The bulk of the upfront costs involved in most website development projects
is usually attributable to the area of Production. The two other essential
elements, Hosting and Promotion are usually either considerably less expensive
or can be spread out over some extended period.
We can define production as the work that's performed in creating or modifying
the files that are necessary to make the site load, appear and function
properly. Both design and technical capabilities are needed for fulfilling
this critical phase of your Internet project. And both areas must be managed
and implemented with care and professionalism.
Website production can involve a great deal more than just the content
that the visitor sees when he loads your site (the text, graphics, photos,
etc.) Though that is often a large part of it, production also includes
the work done in creating any hidden items, such as scripts, field parameters,
meta tags and embedded notes. Content-related setup charges would also
be classified as production, in that they primarily refer to the carrying
over of common material from one page to another (i.e., headers and footers,
logos, backgrounds and hidden elements).
