Press Release Body: \"Web development encompasses many stages i.e. Planning,
Analysis, Web design, Implementation, Promotion and Innovation. Each of these stages
requires use of different sets of tools and professionals with varied skill sets.

Planning and Analysis don\'t require as many software tools as the experience of the
web master or project director. They need working knowledge with all aspects of
server and database. Familiarity with Operating Systems and the Internet server
applications are required. Experience with IP networks, programming languages and
database development are also essential. The two most common Operating Systems used
are Windows NT/2000 and Unix, although many also use Linux. Most commonly used
Internet programming languages include PERL, CGI, ActiveX, ASP, and Java among
others.

In the next stage of Web designing, tools such as HTML Meta tags, JavaScript, CGI,
Macromedia Flash, Macromedia Dreamweaver and Adobe Photoshop are used. Web
templates, graphic designs, photographs, texts, clippings, audio and video are also
included, as per the requirements. Flash helps in animation that gives an identity
to a website. Visual Basic is the most common language for scripting and SQL with
other database engines are used for database management on the website. To create
Search Engine Optimized content, tools such as Overture are used. Once the most
popularly searched words in your industry are identified and short-listed, the
content creators write content using these search words. This ensures that your
website lists high in the search engines and directories.

In the Implementation stage, the website is implemented and tested on various
browsers. Any functional errors, if found, are corrected. The Promotion and
Innovation stages, help in marketing a website. Pay-Per-Click Search Engine
Promotion, Loyalty Programs, Email Campaigns and Online Games are some tools used
for website promotion. Tools such as site statistics software and reporting from
site searches let you know what exactly your visitors are looking for. The content
and marketing strategies are then adjusted accordingly. A website also needs to be
maintained and continuously evaluated and updated with respect to content,
presentation, layout and technical aspects.

Use of good web development tools ensures that your pages have good content, Meta
tags, a high link popularity score, appropriate keywords and visual appeal. Although
web development tools are essential, it also takes a seasoned team of programmers,
graphic designers, content creators, consultants and marketing staff to work in
tandem to create a technically sound, visually appealing and highly functional
website. A well-planned site, apart from being high in functionality, is also easy
to re-design or alter, at a later stage.
