1. WEBSITE PLANNING &CREATION

2. WHAT IS INTERNET?
• The internet is a massive network of networks, a networking
infrastructure.
• It connects millions of computers together globally, forming a
network in which any computer can communicate with any
other computer as long as they are both connected to the
internet.

3. WHAT IS WWW?
• The World Wide Web, is a way of accessing information over the
medium of the Internet. It is an information-sharing model that
is built on top of the Internet.
• The Web uses the HTTP protocol, only one of the languages
spoken over the Internet, to transmit data.
• The Web also utilizes browsers, such as Internet Explorer or
Firefox, to access Web documents called Web pages that are
linked to each other via hyperlinks. Web documents also contain
graphics, sounds, text and video.

4. WHAT IS A WEBSITE?
• A website is a collection of related web pages, including
multimedia content, typically identified with a common domain
name, and published on at least one web server.
• A website may be accessible via a public Internet Protocol (IP)
network, such as the Internet, or a private local area network
(LAN), by referencing a uniform resource locator (URL) that
identifies the site.

5. WHAT IS DOMAIN NAME?
• A domain name is your website name. A domain name is the address
where Internet users can access your website. A domain name is used for
finding and identifying computers on the Internet.
• Computers use IP addresses, which are a series of number. However, it is
difficult for humans to remember strings of numbers. Because of this,
domain names were developed and used to identify entities on the
Internet rather than using IP addresses.
• The Domain Name System (DNS) translates Internet domain and host
names to IP addresses and vice versa. On the Internet, DNS automatically
converts between the names we type in our Web browser address bar to
the IP addresses of Web servers hosting those sites.

6. WEB SERVER & WEB HOSTING

7. • A Web server is a program that uses HTTP (Hypertext Transfer
Protocol) to serve the files that form Web pages to users, in
response to their requests, which are forwarded by their
computers' HTTP clients.
• Dedicated computers and appliances may be referred to as Web
servers as well.

8. • You park a space on Internet which is known as Web Hosting.
• Web hosting is a service that allows to post a website or web page
onto the Internet. A web hosting service provider, is a business
that provides the technologies and services needed for the
website to be viewed in the Internet.
• Websites are hosted, or stored, on special computers called
servers. Computers connect to your server and your webpages
are delivered to through the browser.

9. TYPES OF WEBSITE

information to all visitors. Similar to handing out a printed
brochure to customers or clients, a static website will generally
provide consistent, standard information for an extended period
of time.
• Although the website owner may make updates periodically, it is
a manual process to edit the text, photos and other content and
may require basic website design skills and software.
• DYNAMIC- A dynamic website is one that changes or customizes
itself frequently and automatically.
• For example, when the front page of a news site is requested, the
code running on the web server might combine stored HTML
fragments with news stories retrieved from a database.

platform the viewer is using

24. What are CMS Platforms?
• A content management system (CMS) is an application that is
used to manage web content, allowing multiple contributors to
create, edit and publish. Content in a CMS is typically stored in a
database and displayed in a presentation layer based on a set of
templates.
• The following are the basic features of a CMS:
– Content creation (allows users to easily create and format content)
– Content storage (stores content in one place, in a consistent fashion)
– Workflow management (assigns privileges and responsibilities based on
roles such as authors, editors and admins)
– Publishing (organizes and pushes content live)

25. BENEFITS OF CMS
• One major advantage of a CMS is its collaborative nature.
Multiple users can log on and contribute, schedule or edit
content to be published. Because the interface is usually
browser-based, a CMS can be accessed from anywhere by any
number of users.
•
• The second major advantage of a CMS is that it allows non-
technical people who don’t know programming languages to
easily create and manage their own web content.
• The editors of a typical content management platform allow
users to enter text and upload images without needing to know
any HTML or CSS.

26. • When a company uses a CMS to publish its pages, it reduces its
reliance on front-end engineers to make changes to the
website, making it quicker and easier to publish new content
• While there are hundreds of CMS platforms, some of the more
popular ones are listed below:
– Wordpress - BLOGGING
– Drupal - PORTFOLIO
– Joomla -PORTFOLIO
– Magento –E-COMMERCE
– Woocommerce- WordPress E commerce

29. 1. WordPress is FREE
WordPress doesn't cost a dime to download or install (however it's being refreshed
every month), and there's a colossal group who enable/manual for individuals for
nothing.
2. WordPress is VERY adaptable
On the off chance that you know how to utilize Microsoft Word, you definitely know
how include your own substance. WordPress can be extended with free modules to
deal with pretty much any site you can envision. There's more than 2000 free themes
to look over.
3. No compelling reason to learn HTML, CSS and PHP without any preparation
Since WordPress goes about as a "website editor", you don't have to take in all the
codingabilities just to include one single picture or line of content.
