Web Development
Web Development generally refers to the development of your website or blog, combining website design, hosting and any other elements required for the site.
Web Development & Web Design
The terms ‘web design’ and ‘web development’ are often used interchangeably.
For a more detailed description, it would be fair to refer to simple sites as needing website design and more advanced sites (which require specific applications, databses and scripting) as websites which need ‘web development’.
Website Development
Although you may start out with free website services and free web hosting providers, when your site grows, it is likely that you will want to add more features and functionality to it.
Unless you’re a programmer, it’s important to find a good web development company or freelancer who can implement your requirements.
Ideally, the web designer who designed your site should also provide development services or be able to refer you to a reputable developer.
Free Websites
There are many ways to develop your free site from simple web pages into more functional websites with:
- blogs
- forums
- polls
- galleries
- rss feeds
- comments and more
Note: before spending lots of resources in developing your site with free providers, do your research and be aware that for most services, they can terminate your account/website at any time at their discretion.
